Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta Due 6th January
Microsoft have just finished distributing an internal Beta 1 escrow build to internal beta testers. "Atlanta" is the code-name for Microsoft's rehashed GIANT Software Anti-Spyware. In a memo internally, the company looks clear to distribute the software this coming Thursday calling it "new, it's fresh, and it's all good".
Encouraging employees to install the Beta is one of the many ways Microsoft tests Beta products internally. It's not clear whether the release this Thursday will be a public beta or a private external beta.

Hope it's eventually released for free. After all most of the spyware which resides on peoples' computers is because of the security bugs and flaws found in internet explorer.

Sadly that will not happen. It will be more like "we found a solution to the problems with IE and it can be had for three easy payments of $39.95. We will also be willing to sell you a subscription for $100 a year, but we reserve the right to cancel your subscription for no reason and you cannot hold us liable for anything that happens to your personal data"

Giant is one of the best programs you can buy for Adware/Spyware. However, not sure how much MS will screw it up.
