this question comes to my mind because as i read on the net, the giant antispyware had a really good reputation in the antispyware field, while people do have some objections over microsoft's antispy (which i find to be ironic)
Indeed an excellent and very interesting point!!!! And I'd wish more people would come to this conclussion (especially those so called "trustable", "all knowing" leader-members of some anti-spyware forums who are too damn narrow minded)....
Microsoft's Anti-Spyware program does exactly the same as the Giant Antispyware program did/does!!! If Giant had a so good reputation, and MS AS has not, then what is the deal???
Simple: or people bashing it because it simply states "microsoft", or people stupidly believed everything what Giant (and other antispyware programs and above all people on those forums) told them.
This shows clearly to me that in either case people should learn more about computers and software and how things work than believing everything they read from the so called "trustable" antispyware companies and forums and/or stop bashing everything from MS just beacuse it is MS.
