Microsoft AntiSpyware
Overall? Microsoft AntiSpyware is a great app, with an interface that is already light years beyond the competition (thanks to GIANT). I was running it through the wringer, as I do with most spyware programs (like Spybot Search & Destroy or Ad-Aware), when I stumbled upon a few grammatical errors. Windows shouldn't have an apostrophe in it, but… they think otherwise. Not only that, but the Microsoft AntiSpyware app still hasn't recognized itself as legit. Is that a problem? Here's a screen shot illustrating the irony and the error. Spyware is bad, but when the spyware utility isn't sure of what it is… that's just funny. Seen any “good” spyware lately?

My favorite anti-spyware application is called “Mozilla Firefox”.

Actually, they do have it right. There should be an apostrophe in Window's. Check out the rules here: http://www.stpt.usf.edu/pms/apostrophe.html

Just wanted to let you know … when I'm waiting for one of your pages to load, I almost always tickle the ear of your caricature with my mouse.
Just realized I've been doing that for, well, years. And this from a grandmotherly type.

Look, I installed it for a client of mine, and it seemed to work. Seems like lately, that's the best one can hope for.
I replaced a free version of Micro Trends because it was strugglin'.

Again. an apostrophe is required because Windows owns the Shell Extention Hooks.

They must have fixed this. I just looked in my copy of MS AntiSpyware and it shows it as a “known” thing. See screenshot here:

Some writers become confused when they must make a possessive of singular nouns that already end in s. As usual, you make the possessive by adding Â’s to the word.
So it's WINDOWS'S SHELL EXTENSION…

Keeping it running sufficiently.
When I first got my computer I didn’t realize how important having antispyware was to keeping it running sufficiently. However, it didn’t take very long for it to become perfectly clear. If you don’t have a good scan you will have many problems that could be avoided so easily. Search-and-destroy Antispyware is a great option when it comes to scanning for bugs that will help you keep your computer running at its peak efficiency. The antispyware solution from Search-and-destroy which you will find at Search-and-destroy will help give your PC the protection it needs to keep it in good working condition.
