Microsoft Acquires Spyware Removal Company

ack154 writes "Checking for updates on my new favorite spyware removal company, I found that Microsoft has acquired Giant AntiSpyware as of 12/16. I must say that it is very refreshing to see Microsoft finally start to take some serious action to help combat this rampant problem. According to the Giant site, a beta version is expected within one month for Microsoft customers (running Windows 2000 and later, of course)."

You're kidding right? Why don't they plug the holes and create a secure product instead of spending money on funding yet another product that doesn't NEED to exist. For christ's sake, fix IE and fix windows, why waste your money, and people's time of having to actually remove it? Stop it from getting on the computer in the first place. Sheesh, makes me glad I use OS X now, I don't deal with this bullshit spyware anymore on at least one machine now.
