Earlier this month, we published a simple study (test) comparing few antispyware program’s real time protection - Does your antispyware’s real-time protection work?

One of the antispyware programs that we studied is Microsoft's Windows AntiSpyware Beta 1 which failed to protect the system in real time while installing a common threat Hotbar and did not detect Hotbar as adware or spyware.

Microsoft released 5729 definitions earlier today so I did another test using Windows AntiSpyware’s real time protection with 5729 definitions and using Hotbar's installer again:

The result is great!

Microsoft's Windows AntiSpyware Beta 1 v1.0.614 with 5729 definitions is now detecting Hotbar as Adware while installing Hotbar:
