spyware program finds no problem. Whats the deal?
The deal is that MSAS Beta 1 dont scan for tracking cookies or
dataminers.
Start Adaware and click on the golden lock, choose a scan and you will
probably see a lot of tracking
cookies.
It is just to keep both programs, MSAS also gives you strong real time
protection.
Lavasoft explains it in this way, it is up to you to deside if
you believe tracking cookies are good or bad. There is no answer to
that.
The problem is that also the bad guys are using them............... and
Claria and Gator.........
