If you hover the mouse on the "Launch Microsoft
AntiSpyware" box, you'll find a reference to GIANT in the
tooltip.

Bingo. You'll find that in the Comments section of the shortcut.

Also hover over the checkbox in the final panel of the install procedure for
another one. Also also see files in the AntiSpyware directory. I trust these
will all be caught before going gold.

Deferring those changes for the time being seems mostly harmless on the
surface, but here's a true story.

After I installed AntiSpyware on another PC, it's well-meaning owner
hovered over the shortcut (they take their time to double-click, y'know), saw
the word "GIANT" show up on the tooltip and, wouldn't you know it, stopped
short and asked me if the installation had already been thwarted by a virus
or other spyware. !!!
