I ran MS Anti-spyware, updated it, had it do an extensive
search. It came up with 3 items, I cleaned those 3 items.

I then ran Spybot and it found over 20 items that MS Anti-
spyware missed?

What's the deal?
 
Microsoft Antispyware, in this release, concentrates on executable
code--things which constitute a real danger. It doesn't scan for or remove
cookies. This functionality may be included in a second beta release--not
yet determined.
 
I think you were expecting a superior product. This one
only fights the Spyware battle half-way (doesn't look at
cookies).

Lesson learned: Don't count on Microshaft for a good
product. Stick with what works - SpyBot and Ad-Aware.
