I had a problem where I couldnt set IE's default page to blank without the M$ product replacing it with MSN -- the only way I found to fix that was to turn off the home page protection. I'm ok with this because I use SpySweeper's protection, WinPatrol and some other products to protect me. Not to mention I only use IE to access known safe sites -- Mozilla's (with ActiveX and Java turned off) my default browser.
It's an OK product but so far it has been very aggressive in marking things as spyware AND has even detected some items by filename and not signature -- which is bad. This was mentioned by someone else here as well.
The product seems to detect and alert for more things than just spyware: it calls out security tools as well. So I wonder what M$ has planned for the product: turn it into a spyware and virus/worm/trojan detection program? IMO the distinction between spyware and virus is starting to blur.
