[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 93871, member: 176362"] I ran the beta "antispyware" last night. Im quite impressed with it. It found one infection that the others had missed (virus killer & AdAware). Its got quite a few additional bits in it which are good. Linked from the front page of the microsoft site if anyone wants to go and have look - however, the new download rules that are to be implemented in the near future mean that the site checks for correctly validated operating system before you can proceed. All MS downloads will be getting this treatment at some point. Detail from the site: "What is genuine Windows validation? Validation is a short process that enables you to verify that your copy of Windows is genuine. If you request a genuine Windows download from the Microsoft Download Center, you will be prompted to complete the validation process. You may choose not to validate your Windows and still obtain your requested download. However, validating now will enable faster access to the Download Center in the future when validation may be required. After successful validation, a Microsoft Windows Download Key will be stored on your system for future use. Following the validation process, you'll be returned to your original page to obtain your requested download. How are validation and Windows activation related? The validation process determines if you have activated your copy of Windows. If you have not activated Windows, you will be asked to enter the 25-character Product Key printed on the Certificate of Authenticity (COA) you received with your PC or software purchase. If you have already activated Windows, the validation process will sense that the PC has been activated, and will not request Product Key entry." [/QUOTE]
