Saw this today on a swedish humour site. The app is looking for spyware and it has found one:

(BTW, operativsystemet in swedish is the same as operating system in english)

Microsoft AntiSpyware being suspecious about a Windows program :)

I still wonder wether or not it removes the Alexa toolbar though.

On April fools day there was a screenshot going around about it detecting Firefox. But it was edited.

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

Microsoft antispyware is actually the best antispyware tool I've tried but that was right after it was bought up and rebranded. Now I wouldn't be surprised if they implement som weird stuff in it.
