Antispyware Shootout

An anonymous reader writes "ZDNet has published a review of 8 antispyware products from Computer Associates, Lavasoft, McAfee, Microsoft, PC Tools, Symantec, Trend Micro and Webroot. Check out the Editor's Choice. Interesting winner ...." I've used quite a number of these scanners on and on & off basis, and I think the reality is that you if you are truly to clean a machine out, you're going to need to use like three - five of these. Each of them captures a certain area, but none are the One Ring or anything.

And the wider body of MSFT users find this situation normal and acceptable? Just amazes me. Don't surf the internet with Windows! Keep a Linux machine with firefox around for browsing, email and chat. Don't leave the windows box connected to the internet for anything but updates and that behind a firewall.

MSFT should offer a web safe version called Windows Unplugged.
