Comment posted Microsoft Security Essentials Includes SpyNet Spyware by Anonymous.

This article seems a bit biased towards SpyNet, possibly causing users to believe it is the sort of spyware that steals their personal information…etc. You haven’t actually said what SpyNet is used for, which is to report virii, spyware, malicious programs…etc so that other users can be protected against them.
Whilst it could be used to report on pirated software, I think the stance in this article makes it out that, that is its main feature.
