Microsoft Anti-Spyware Preview

Paul Thurrott has published a little preview of the future Microsoft Anti-Spyware tool, born after the acquisition of Giant Software from Microsoft, and Ben Riga has a nice review of the first internal Beta release of this product.

If you're curious it's an interesting reading to do... However, I hope that Microsoft will decide to release the Anti-Spyware tool for free and not under an annual subscription (as rumours are saying). An official Microsoft Anti-Spyware freely available to all Windows Users (maybe under Windows Update with all the Spyware definitions) could be a great service for the community and for the security of all users.

The first beta could be released on January 2005, so only the time could say what will be the choices.
