Vista anti-spyware protection has holes

Enex Testlab performed an independent study comparing leading anti-spyware products to the integrated spyware blocker of Windows Vista throughout 2006. The results showed that Microsoft Defender's quick scan blocked 46.61 percent of dangerous threats and their full scan blocked 53.39 percent. Tested at the same time with the same sample-set, Spyware Doctor's quick scan blocked 83.26 percent and the full scan blocked 88.69 percent. Clearly, Vista's integrated spyware protection does not keep your PC completely safe. Be sure to use an independent anti-spyware product to prevent spyware from ravaging your computer. A review site like Consumer First Reviews will help you find the right product at a reasonable price. http://www.consumerfirstreviews.com
