Microsoft Acquires
Anti-spyware Leader Giant Company Software Inc.

From the website:

There’s a GIANT difference between everyday anti-spyware programs and GIANT AntiSpyware. Not only does GIANT AntiSpyware search and remove existing spyware on your computer, it also alerts you when potential dangers arise, stopping most spyware before it can install. This prevention helps to keep your computer up-to-date and helps protect your personal information.

On December 16, 2004, Microsoft announced its acquisition of GIANT Company Software. Microsoft plans to make available a beta version of a spyware protection, detection, and removal tool, based on the Giant AntiSpyware product, within one month for Microsoft customers.

Reliable anti-spyware company. Now a Microsoft subsidiary and Redmond is reportedly releasing a free anti-spyware software beta for users to download in the New Year.
