Indeed, it looked well polished. Some minor nags about the beta that I quickly found was the non-working feedback/report function and the fact that it found Labtec keyboards kbhook driver to be critical key logger spyware. I think it should check the files md5 or something and compare it to authentic file.

BTW something very interesting happened when I went to read some news from forbes.com, their ActiveX auto installed with no popups etc (this is xp sp2), and was invisible from any place in IE settings I looked at. Antispyware however allowed me to block it, nice.

Norton doesn't look for the same things that anti-spyware applications look for. At least it doesn't look for it as well as dedicated software does.

I downloaded and installed MS/Giant AntiSpyware yesterday and I was also blown away by how good it is. In addition to catching a major exploit on my machine that SpySweeper missed, I love that it lets me selectively review and deactivate BHOs and ActiveX things that I could never figure out how to get to. It feels complete, it's geeky without speaking geek, and I wish MS would just roll this into Windows instead of selling it as stand-alone software. Not because I don't want to pay for it, but I think something like this should be on every Windows machine by default so Mom, Pop & Grandma are protected without having to know how to buy and update something extra.

There was something warm and fuzzy about sitting down at my computer this morning to a screen that showed how it took 20 minutes to scan my computer at 2 am and found no threat whatsoever. :-)
