Is the link I get

Not bad, it did find some stuff everyone else seemed to leave out. Now to hit the web and test out the "Security Agents"

i just installed it on my 2k3 partition which has until now been unprotected. i like it. it seems to be fairly powerful and did a full scan on both partitions with os's on them in less time then the other tools i use would take on one partition. it also combines multiple tools into one. next will be to compare this one app to my current collection of apps and see how it does as the underdog.

I installed it, and it seems to be a pretty good tool. Which doens't suprise me at all, considering microsoft DID NOT create it. It was origionally called Giant Spyware tools, which I still have installed on my other computer. I remember seeing a post a bit ago on slashdot that had a review of top Spyware removal tools and giant came out on top. I probably should dig up the link, but I don't find it suprising that microsoft would buy out the best anti-spyware tool and rebrand it as their own. Oh well...
