Microsoft Buys Giant Software for Anti-Spyware Tools

Microsoft Acquires Giant, Plans Antispyware Release: Giant’s site has essentially been replaced by a big press release. I didn’t use any of their products, but they included Spam Inspector, which I hear was quite good. I wonder how many of Bill’s four million emails a day it could head off?

Microsoft today announced its acquisition of New York–based Giant Company Software Inc.[…]

Microsoft will use the acquisition to create an antispyware solution for users of Windows 2000 and later. Key personnel from Giant will join Microsoft to make this possible. A beta release of the as-yet-unnamed product is planned within one month.

More information in this CNN article, including information on Microsoft’s plans to charge for the product.

Because they don't know how to remove it from their own software themselves?
