Default Microsoft Promises Spyware Help
Quote:
(AP) Microsoft Corp. has disclosed plans to offer frustrated users of its Windows software new tools within 30 days to remove spyware programs secretly running on computers. But it might cost extra in coming months.

In a shift from past practice, the world's largest software manufacturer said Thursday it may charge consumers for future versions of the new protective technology, which Microsoft acquired by buying a small New York software firm. Terms of the sale of Giant Company Software Inc. weren't disclosed.

I purchased Spam Inspector from Giant Company Software af few months ago. Their web site is gone and the updates no longer work.

Thanks Microsoft.
