Would you know if your computer was infected with spyware?

A report came out today that states that Microsoft’s free MSRT cleaned up almost 1,000,000 PCs in its latest release. Of course, none of the people who were infected with spyware knew they were infected. This meant that their computers were basically not under their own control, and that all information on their computer was vulnerable to hackers around the world.
 
The MSRT is updated once a month and has been responsible for cleaning up tens of millions of computers around the world. While it is free, it does have it’s limitations, and is not a complete anti-spyware tools. Specifically, it is only updated once a month. It also does not run all of the time, to prevent new infections.
 
However, it is a free, once a month safety check. You will still need the other software, but this should be loaded on all Windows computers.
