Well, MS released an anti-spyware tool recently, and I finally got around to installing it today. After running SpySweeper, SpyBot, and AdAware I ran the MS Spyware Removal tool. The MS program found 4 spyware programs (including a browser hijacker) that the others missed. I was very impressed! Then, when installing the new JRE I got a msg that said the program was allowed to install because it was certified spyware/virus free. Very cool stuff! Check it out, lemme know what you think. (Oh yeah, free updates, and spyware reporting directly from your system, and includes multiple daemons to block injection/infection.) http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/default.mspxE1

Just tested the program on the secure net, with SpyNet turned off and the packet sniffer going. I didn't see any traffic to the net from the computer, so it looks like its behaving so far...

He's too much a 1337 h4x0r to download from the man.
That or he's not running a "genuine Microsoft Windows." Thats such BS, they gotta scan my computer to see what I am running before letting me download their software. Now, I will ask if whoever downloaded it already can post a direct link to the file, if they could do that so I could download it too?

Is this because it checks the windows authenticity?
