Microsoft has entered the fight against spyware, announcing the beta version of its “new” AntiSpyware software.

“Microsoft’s vision for anti-spyware solutions is that customers should be empowered to make informed decisions about the software that installs and runs on their PCs. Microsoft will take steps toward this vision by making it easier for customers to gain insight into what’s running on the system, to better discern good software from bad software, and to block and remove spyware from a PC.”

Further information is available at the Microsoft website.

One of the major aims of this website is to help people understand the security problems we face when browsing the internet. The challenge is to do this in a way that real people can actually understand.

I’m currently putting together some PC security recommendations for people who are on a tight budget. Hopefully it will be reasonably easy to understand for those who don’t do this stuff for a living.

If you can’t wait for the article, check out So how did I get infected in the first place?, a forum topic that contains some valuable recommendations, although it is more for a technical audience.
