OCA recommends Microsoft Anti-Spyware

I had to crash out of MSN Messenger as it had hung on a dialog while selecting a new display picture. I sent an error report, and in response I got redirected to the Windows Online Crash Analysis site, which included the following paragraph:

* This problem might also be resolved by installing and running an anti-spyware program. We recommend Microsoft® Windows® AntiSpyware, which is currently available as a beta release. You can find out more information here: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx

Somehow I don't think this is an appropriate place to advertise another Microsoft product.

I don't have strong negative feelings about this one, personally. And the more people who have that tool running, the safer we will all be (though I guess good AV software would also be a good idea for that!)....

I'd prefer to see a link to a vendor-neutral catalog.
