scoop on Microsoft Spyware BETA

[wpshooter]

What is the scoop on Mirosoft's Spyware BETA ?

Does it function better than say, the free version of Adaware ?

Does it cause any significant slow-down in performance of other applications ?

Will this program eventually be a part of the Windows O/S ? And if not, will it be a free standalone utility ?

Thanks.

It is the former antispyware product from GIANT (microsoft bought them). Read a review here:

Have not seen any on the PCs that i have installed it on. But none of them are low end.

Why not use both?

No and no, microsoft is going to integrate it into their One Care program.
