Yes, I've now installed the beta of Microsoft's anti-spyware software, after reading in a recent magazine of some comparative tests. The tests showed that the Microsoft's outperformed the others, but the author recommended using more than one tool in any case. So I installed it - and it did pick up some things that AdAware and PestPatrol didn't. Now I'm going to be running all three.
