While the core spyware scanning and detection engine seems solid, I noted several problems in the user interface, both technical and usability issues. Examples might include simple things like buttons and highlighting not lining up. Both issues are somewhat offset by the fact that program installation is easy and clean, and that the default settings mean that the average user rarely needs to visit the program again, but can just trust it to do its thing in the background or as part of a nightly scan.
For example after installing the program, I later made a change to a start-up program. Microsoft AntiSpyware presented me with a dialog describing what was happening and gave me the option to allow, or prevent, the addition to my start-up programs.
The question is, will Microsoft bend to their pressure and relax the rules? Microsoft, being the new and very large player in this field will clearly annoy a few spyware vendors. We hope that Microsoft will hold a firm line, present a clear definition of what spyware is, and not bend to outside pressure.
