"Windows Anti-Spyware (beta) is a security technology that helps protect
Windows users from spyware and other potentially unwanted software. Known
spyware on your PC can be detected and removed. This helps reduce negative
effects caused by spyware, including slow PC performance, annoying pop-up ads,
unwanted changes to Internet settings, and unauthorized use of your private
information. Continuous protection improves Internet browsing safety by blocking

programs are classified as spyware. Microsoft researchers quickly develop
methods to counteract these threats, which are automatically downloaded to your
PC, so you stay up-to-date."
