adaware

I recently installed this product. I ran a scan and found
nothing. I then ran a scan with Adaware and found
multiple items. Why is this ?

all anti-spyware programs use their own set of deffinitons. So each
program picks up something the other one misses.

I've had the same thing here. I did a fresh install of Anti Spyware and
found just one object. I then did a fresh install of Ad-aware pro and found
a further 94 objects.

Does anyone at Microsoft want the scan logs to see what Antispyware missed?

I've just done approximately the same thing with the

same results. I ran adaware, cleaned out the spyware,
installed the Microsoft product, went to all the favorite
websites, ran adaware and found 5 new items. Are we
doing something wrong?

Adaware reports cookies and MRU list, AntiSpyware doesn't.

One difference between the products is that Microsoft Antispyware, in the
current beta, does not scan cookies.
