When I run the MS Anti spyware Beta It does not find
anything. However, my Trend PC Cillin scan has fond
AdW_COMETCURS.A. I am not sure if this should be removed
or not. Why does MS Anti Spyware not discover it? Can
anyone help me please
 
If you aren't knowingly using Comet Cursors, I'd go right ahead and let
Trend remove that.

There is no standardized definition of spyware. Last I was aware, Microsoft
Antispyware did detect Comet Cursor, because I have a client who wants this
to remain on her machine, and I believe I needed to set an Ignore Always for
it.

It is possible that Trend is spotting a leftover bit that Microsoft
Antispyware is simply ignoring--but there should be no harm in removing
this.
