MSN technologies: Sandbox (http://sandbox.msn.com/)
Sounds like MSN are taking the Mickey out of Google as the search engine war, Google vs. MSN, heats up.
If Google complain about the Sandbox Term then the will be owning up to it's existence. This is something they have appeared reluctant to do, so far.

Looks like a nice site. However, I tried to download the anti-spyware beta and it didn't seem to respond to my Firefox browser. Any pointers?

"Sandbox" is a misnomer. It was originally "sandbag," meaning to treat harshly or to misrepresent/conceal one's position. People continued to use the term "sandbox" and now someone referring to a "sandbox" at MSN is talking about getting along with others as a child's meeting place, not the concealment or treatment of a web site in the SERPs.
For the last time, it's "sandbag" when talking about Google's treatment of new sites and the SERPs.

I tried the Search Results Clustering and a connection failure warning appeared.

the original post explained perfectly what a "sandbox" is, A sandbox is a holding area for new software technology and is in no way a pun or play on the "google sandbox" because the google sandbox is also (or rather was) a holding area for new .html documents (kinda software) and not a direct attempt to conceal ones postion (webmaster paranoia) but to combat serp manipulation.
Neither Google or MSN were the first to use this term

I absolutely love Microsoft Antispyware - I've been running it since it was first launched into Beta (maybe 8 months ago?) and have not run anything since. I don't even need Spyware S&D or Adaware any longer, Microsoft's Antispyware catches it all, with a rather small footprint.
My only qualm with it is when it launches a scan at 2:00AM and I am up late at night w/ some work or late-night gaming session. :)
I won't run anything else, there's no need, and I encourage all of my clients/associates to do the same. You will not find a better product for Antispyware.
