I don't think it's going to be free. While doing a small amount of research
on the "spyware community" I found this text string in the
GianttAntiSpywareUpdater.exe:




Doesn't the fact that the executable's name contains a company that no longer exists (Giant) indicate that perhaps this BETA software will undergo some changes before its full release as a Microsoft product? _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.

Buahwuahwuahwuawa ... you have to be gullible to think that M$ will not NOT cash on their own slack coding. Of course they will, now i suspect they even will try to make it go as an added cost for the OEMs, so consummers will pay transparently for one year signatures updates ... as they do/did for OSes.
Remember .. they never had a choice in the first place, why would they now ?
