yea, it works quite well.

I also use a registry cleaning program too which takes out a lot of "obsolete" entries.

This microsoft antispyware too has "real time protection." quite similar to an antivirus program that runs real time to detect spyware as it comes in and makes sure it doesn't make system changes, or internet property changes. I'm pretty anal when it comes to keeping my system clean, so all it found was a few registry keys and kazaa lite, but it went on a hayday when I ran it at my parents place: dialers, spyware, ie toolbars, the list goes on. It's pretty thourough with it's scanning.

I enjoy it...so far.

Compatibility with ZoneAlarm, Windows Firewall, AV programs? Didn't see any info on that.
