This information concerning syware was moved to OMNI:

Microsoft will offer anti-spyware app

Also, if you are still using Ie6, I would think about upgrading to IE7 as soon as possible, as noted here:

Some additional information was also posted here in a new thread in Travel Tech, since the earlier thread was locked, but it also can now apparently be found over in OMNI:

And, btw, I do not like the Trend Micro tool at all.

The free Windows defender antispyware, and occassional scans with spybot S&D and/or adaware, all free, have been great for me and almost everyone I know.


And, FWIW while your at it, you may also want to take a look at "blink" as well:

Blink Personal Edition launched FREE of charge

Hope this helps,
