Tried it on mine, worked a treat. Integrates nicely with Windows allowing you to create restore points etc (although some 3rd party programs let you do that) and it's got a nice clean UI.

Opinions?

Ah Tom, I remember fondly the comments you said about not having to use stuff like this cos you had common sense not to get virus and spyware infections in the first place

I've been using this a few months now, works a treat, I still had to use other programs to get rid of **** initially, but once its all clean using this will be fine

I've been using MS Anti-Spyware too, although I must say since ditching the mess that is IE and moving to Firefox, I haven't had ANY spyware at all.

The only worry I have for MS Anti spy is that it will be targeted by every one. Every little exploit and hole will be found and used.
