they are not upto date microsoft does not know how to keep
theym ahead of the game counterspy beats them and uses the
same spyware engine. ad-aware beats them and even spybot
when will they learn or improve their software.

Even i found more spyware than microsoft did and that was
by hand
 
New definitions will be issued today. When the other products do better in
comparative reviews, I might agree with you. At this point, I think you are
counting cookies. I'm not surprised you can find things by hand that
everyone misses--that's the nature of the issue involved.
 
Dear adavid:

Well aren't you special! Thanks for the info. It's so
informative.

Are you in the beta stage as well?

I have cleaned machines that were buried in spyware and trojans that had
Adaware and Spybot installed - its more coincidence than any measure of
effectiveness that things are detected or hidden these days. Sure, one will
beat the others the first day but everyone catches up pretty quick these
days.

Staying ahead of the spyware programmers is impossible unless there a
spyware programmer who is also writing the detection software - what a
racket that would be huh?!

Most likely, the difference you are seeing is the detection of cookies,
which MSAS does not scan for since they are not spyware.
