Free AntiSpyware for Windows XP
Ratliff, J
Microsoft recently released a newer beta version of their AntiSpyware tool. After downloading and installing this new version of Antispyware, I must say I was impressed. The tool found everything I threw at it, including a few that AdAware could not find. Microsoft has also implemented a network for people to join if they wish to combat new spyware. It is kind of like a huge lab if you will. Althought the beat version is free, it does expire in July 2006, and MS is sure to charge for the final product. However, I think that this tool will be a great product for all computer users who are tired of constantly fighting spyware and adware. I am advising all of my clients at http://www.victoriatechnology.com to download it and try it out. You can find Microsoft Spyware here.

Or even better example a guy you've never met before opens the hood of your car, says the engine is broken and tries to persuade you to add some gadget your car desperately needs and now! What you'd do if such a crazy thing happened? Wouldn't you readily accept the help, paid for it and thank this unknown altruist for his generosity? Why not? Lots of people are doing exactly the same on their PCs. A pop-up ad offering you a pop-up blocker funny, isn't it? With...
