But it seems just Microsoft AntiSpyware on it's own is not enough protection from adware/spyware. I have found spyware/adware remaining after a full scan using AntiSpyware and as a result use Microsoft AntiSpyware, Spybot Search and Destroy 1.3 and also Lavasoft AdAware 1.05 to combat these issues.
The realtime protection in Microsoft AntiSpyware is a good feature though, warnings much like ZoneAlarm before malicious activity happens.
