Well i haven't had any major problems with it so far. I'm not entirely sure
whether the 'track eraser' in advanced tols works as it should do but i'll
have to take another look at it. The last time i the track eraser it erased
absolutely nothing. Everything it should have erased was still on my disk.
So i ended up replying upon my trust friend CleanCache.
Still Microsoft Antispyware is only in beta and we come to expect these
minor niggles.
 
Works well for me no problems yet but, you still need to use AD-Aware as ms
seems to concentrate more on the registry and hijackers then anything else.

I am using it and have seen no obvious problems. I downloaded a new
program today and it found a browser hijack program buried in it and
allowed me to delete it, which it did.

It gives an awful lot of false positives. I wouldn't recommend removing
anything just because MSAS identifies it as a baddy. Use other programs to
verify. After all, it's a beta and does have bugs.

I like it, I especially like the way it simply tells me what it has found an
where it come from etc. Found lots that SpySweeper didn't, although I hadn't
subscribed to that so it was out of date anyway.
