Why do Spybouncer and adware identify spyware that MS Antispyware igores. I
have lots of data miner cookies that MS AS does not remove
 
Hi Richard;
Often on this forum we hear the recommendation to run multiple Anti-Spyware
products, in that one might catch what another's database misses, with the
caveat that running products with Real Time Protection may result in conflicts.
You now have one that does offer RTP, so continue to make use of the multiples.
If you like the data miner - cookie remover feature of Spybouncer/ad-aware, why
not... although it's nothing that can't be achieved right within Internet
Explorer if that's your browser of choice. MSAS does not remove cookies in it's
current Beta1 configuration. I should make one observation in regard to
Spybouncer, it's on the list of rogue/suspect anti-spyware products, primarily
because of their aggressive advertising methods, so use it with some degree of
caution:
