I just downloaded the Beta today and ran it a couple of
times. It did not find anything. Then I ran Spybot S+D
and that found three advertising objects.

How can we be sure the Microsoft Beta is actually being
particularly successful at finding spyware compared with
the tried and trusted Spybot S+D?
 
Chances are, what Spybot found are only tracking cookies.
MSAS currently doesn't look for cookies. Cookies are relatively
harmless compared to actual spyware/malware programs.
