But XP itself is spyware
The default installation of XP provides the user with spyware in the form of Alexa to track browsing habits.
Now Microsoft potentially are going to charge for the removal of spyware...
Pay to have it, pay to get rid of it - I think not.
Pay a visit to the spyware section on download.com, there you can sort yourself out effectively and for free, applications spybot and ad-aware deserve a special mention.
Meanwhile stay well clear of MS anti-spyware and do not even think about their anti-virus plans.
