Microsoft AntiSpyware offers plenty of features which is sure to turn some heads. Not only does it scan for spyware/adware, it can also offer real-time protection which prevents spyware from being installed in the first place. Though Microsoft’s new toy offers really nice feature as we are about to explore, how well does it match up against the already known spyware removal champs; Ad-Aware and SpyBot S&D? Let us find out.

Heh. What this review fails to state is that many of these so called spyware programs that AntiSpyware (stupid name) detected are actually made by Microsoft. Meh, I am just anti-anything-that-competes-with-SpyBot-and-SpySweeper.
