Anyone knows if this is also an anti-virii? It doesn't seem
to based on the name of the software. But somehow, it is
able to detect and remove trojans and virii on my computer????
 
Microsoft Antispyware is not intended to substitute for a competent,
up-to-date antivirus application on your machine.

The definition of spyware is rather broad, and the antivirus vendors are
also broadening the reach of their applications to include spyware, so there
is overlap. You need both, at this point, however.
