GIANT AntiSpyware was a spyware detection and removal application developed by GIANT Company Software, Inc.
GIANT Company Software, Inc. was acquired by Microsoft Corporation on December 16, 2004.[1] GIANT AntiSpyware is no longer sold and Microsoft stopped releasing spyware definition updates for it in August 2006.
Microsoft's Windows Defender (formerly Microsoft AntiSpyware) program is built upon a restructured version of GIANT AntiSpyware.
