The MS antispyware is probably not built into the operating system due to
time constraints - MS only acquired the developer Giant Software in December

It's available in Beta by free download from
http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=2525750 and I understand the final product
will be free.
Too cynical this morning, Jon?

Is this the first time I've ever heard this on this list ?!
Yes, probably !!
More to the point, if they can do it, why isn't it built into their
operating system or other programs that need it (Web Browser, etc.)
Oh, that's right. I forgot. They need more money. Doh !

second cup of tea yet and this M$ computer has hung and crashed on me twice
already)
