MS Tackle Spyware!

Sort the problem, don't treat the symptom.

It's one thing for other companies to design spyware software, but MS should be fixing the holes instead, not trying to come up with a subscription service to profit from the holes.

They are fixing the holes.  Did you not see the dozen or so patches that came last year?

The only one I can think of that reduced the possibility of spyware was the changes to the prompts in IE about running/installing stuff.
