Microsoft Working on Spyware Solution

" During a weekend trip to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California, Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates revealed that his company is working on an antispyware software solution. Gates didn't say when the company would ship the technology or whether it would be bundled with Windows or shipped as a standalone product.

Gates did say, however, that Microsoft is dedicating 'hundreds of millions of dollars' of its $5 billion annual R&D budget toward solving the problems of 'malware and adware.' Although Gates says that he's never been victimized by a virus, his PCs have been riddled with spyware, forcing him to run third-party spyware scanners. 'I haven't had a virus on my machine basically ever,' he said."
