Ran full scan of new MS spyware detection and revealed no
spyware. Ran Spybot and revealed spyware.
 
Hi Bill,
What did Spybot find that MSAS didn't?
In the Beta1 version, the program doesn't go into the cookie jar, nor does
it chase data miner objects.

Hi Harry,
Care to share what was found? Remember too that the MSAS doesn't check
cookies or dataminers at this time.

Spybot detects 5 problems everytime I open Internet
Explorer. It states there is a hole in IE allowing this
and to date I have been unable to fix.
 
Ron,

I'll run it again and let you know.

Ron,

Are you guys intending on having MS Antispyware find
tracking cookies and/or chase data miner objects?
