How come when I ran Antispyware, it found no problems but when I immediately
followed this scan with SpyBot 1.4, it found 77 problems?

Hey JFloyd
Most of what Spybot is detecting are cookies and MS Antispy in its current
form doesnt scan for cookies although this may be included at some stage,
Cookies are not a security risk as they contain no code they are more a
privacy concern for some users but Microsoft already have alot of features in
place to control or restrict cookies if you want, Start Menu > Control Panel
Blocking third party cookies or setting them to prompt would reduce the
amount but you will still get some as they are needed for sites to function
correctly and to remember your settings, passwords etc..
If you feel Spybot is detecting Spyware that MS Antispy is missing this is
the place to post details on that but you need to list exactly what was found
by spybot first before we can comment, You could open Spybot and go to
Recovery and if its removed Spyware/Adware it will list details on that
screen. With there being 77 problems Id guess they are cookies that spybot is
finding but let us know if thats not the case.
