I installed Microsoft Antispyware on my computer
approximaley two weeks ago. I have ran somewhere in the
area of 15 scans.
In those 15 scans I have yet to have anything detected.
I have another spyware that routinley detects about 10
per scan.
What have I done wrong?
thanks
 
Exactly what was detected by the other spyware program ?
MSAS does not detect Cookies in this version and I'll bet that that's
what the other program is detecting.

Try running Microsoft AntiSpyware in safe mode.

Restart in safe mode and do a deep scan. On the Scan Page choose Scan
Options > Full System Scan. Do this at least two times until detects
something. Also, before you restart in safe
mode, disable System Restore, some trojans and spyware programs are likely
to restore themselves with system snap shots:

Right click My Computer > Properties > System Restore, check the "Disable
System Restore" check box and restart in safe mode.

Restart in safe mode instructions:
