Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta1 发布了，贴几张图片上来

From microsoft's spyware newsgroup, they announced at 12/20/2004 :

Last week, Microsoft announced that we have acquired GIANT Company Software Inc., a New York-based company that develops anti-spyware and Internet security products. The goal of this strategic investment is to help our customers keep spyware off of their computers with new solutions that they can use in the near future. It also provides us with a solid foundation for
delivering new long-term solutions.

In order to help protect customers as soon as possible, we plan to roll out a beta offering of a new spyware prevention, detection, and removal solution based on Giant's technology within the next month.

The solution, which will be available for Windows 2000 and later operating systems, will enable customers to decide whether to block, find and remove spyware and other unwanted software from their PCs. Together with the security technologies in Windows XP Service Pack 2 that improve the security of browsing, this solution will offer a higher level of protection for  customers on the Internet.

We are also tackling the spyware issue in other ways, including consumer guidance & engagement, industry collaboration and cooperation with legislators & law enforcement.

This acquisition reflects Microsoft's deep commitment to security. We intend to continue investing in solutions to help protect customers against all types of malicious software, not just spyware.

Details on timing and terms of product availability for our new anti-spyware offerings are yet to be determined. It will be available for Windows 2000 and later operating systems.

Today, Neowin leaks an internal Beta 1 escrow build of MS Anti-Spyware, Code-Name Atlanta :

Microsoft have just finished distributing an internal Beta 1 escrow build to internal beta testers. "Atlanta" is the code-name for Microsoft's rehashed GIANT Software Anti-Spyware. In a memo internally, the company looks clear to distribute the software this coming Thursday calling it "new, it's fresh, and it's all good".

Encouraging employees to install the Beta is one of the many ways Microsoft tests Beta products internally. It's not clear whether the release this Thursday will be a public beta or a private external beta.

Check out our exclusive screenshots below.

Update: Microsoft is currently detecting Messenger Plus! as Spyware.

刚出来，可能还没有多少人装上看看，我装了，还不错，可以在线升级，而且可以一直试用到7月底


主界面



然后是实时监控保护，实时监控spyware，并且可以Script - Blocking（恶意脚本拦截）


这是Advanced Tools，里面包含了System Explorer , Browser Hijack Restore , Tracks Eraser



System Explorer，好东东，可以查看Applications，IE，Networking，System，如图，可以查看ActiveX都装了那些，有没有3721、Baidu等等



Browser Hijack Restore，看名字就知道是什么东东了，可以查看IE的那些被篡改了，想来MS自己出的东西应该可以清理干净了吧？？不过我没有被改，所以没试验的必要。



Tracks Eraser，这个好像是可以Remove应用程序的东东和清除历史纪录，如：IE Cookies和History、自动完成密码的功能(Auto Complete Passwords)、URL History，类似于“添加/删除应用程序”的东东



我尝试着scan了一把，挖出了4个…，不过我看都没有问题，因为我突然发现AntiSpyware竟然连你机器里的Register Key都扫描… 0_0 汗…
而且AntiSpyware比较好不错的变化是，你们看那三个图片，通常杀毒软件都会有这些图片配合，AntiSpyware如果扫描Regedit文件时候会自动换成注册表的图标，呵呵 ， 虽然没有什么实际意义吧:D



其他的我就没有抓，大家可以自己下载试试看，毕竟是微软05年要全力打造推出的55款软件之一，这个软件还包括“AutoUpdater”、“Suspected Spyware Report”（可疑的间谍后门提交）
