Microsoft denies its antispyware favors Claria

By

When Microsoft first launched their BETA AntiSpyware software many users noted that Claria products were not suggested to be removed. What made things worse is that Microsoft is trying to buy Claria. Very interesting article for those impacted by spyware and Microsoft, which is all of us!

Microsoft is moving to quash claims that its antispyware tool is now giving preferential treatment to adware maker Claria. The beta version of Microsoft AntiSpyware previously recommended that users quarantine several products from Claria, but this changed last week. According to a statement published by Microsoft, the downgrade in threat level merely represents an effort to be “fair and consistent with how Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) handles similar software from other vendors.”
