Useless

[Lad]

Pretty useless program. Never finds any spyware even
though I have tons of it! It never gets any better. How
long has it been out now? It better start improving, or
I'll junk it!

Well, I bet the MSAS thanks you for your kind words. Anyway, its beta and
its most effective when you do your scans in safe mode. Beta 2 is coming, so
maybe that update will be your cup tea.

Hi Lad,

I'm confused here. How do you know you have spyware if MWAS doesn't find
it? Perhaps you are also running another reliable anti spyware program such
as Adaware? (Hey, I like that program too!)

Difference is that MWAS doesn't scan for or delete tracking cookies or
dataminer objects. If that's where you find the difference, not to worry.
