Microsoft moved a step closer to becoming a key player in the Internet security business with the announcement Thursday of a new enterprise-class anti-spyware product featuring technology to thwart viruses, worms and kernel rootkits.

Whilst this is nice, this being Microsoft means that it's going to be targetted directly more than any other AV. (How long was it before someone wrote a virus to disable MS anti-spyware...?) If it was not bad enough with Norton not being able to protect a machine, let alone survive targetted attacks to disable it - MSAV is going to be ten times worse.
AVG for the win.

I just simply install only open source software.
That is software written in full public view by a collaboration of programmers. These same programmers then actually use the resultant software themselves.
It is similar in some ways to the old practice of kings to have food "tasters" to confirm that their food was not poisoned.
Anyway - by the same logic - open source software has no spyware (or any sort of malware) in it.
Therefore - I just use open source, and only that.
