It's no big news that we are all vulnerable to threats like viruses, Trojans etc once we get online and connect to the Big Bad World of the Internet. However there are a number of anti spy ware and virus programs doing the rounds and most of them are quite effective too. Now it is the turn of Microsoft to join the bandwagon with their OneCare which now is available in an updated version with anti-spy ware technology and bug fixes.
The new version of the Microsoft OneCare security suite features a combination of anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall software with back-up features and a number of tools for Windows PCs. According to sources, Microsoft is taking a lot of pain to make sure that the interface is user-friendly and are geared for preventing malware which crops up on the internet almost everyday. However they are also aware that they are making them selves an easy target as malware writers all over would like to attack its offering. No word on pricing yet but expect it around June on their website for download and purchase.
IF you really want to get less headaches, switch to Linux. Its safer and more stabil.

Microsoft is good ;)
As for me, I like professional anti-spy software like Anti-keylogger by Raytown Corporation LLC.
