Hi

In Beta 1 MSAS does not look for tracking cookies or dataminers

Look within your Adaware log, "golden lock".

Lavasoft explains it in this way, it is up to you to deside if
you believe tracking cookies are good or bad. There is no answer to
that.
The problem is that also the bad guys are using them...............

- Tracking Cookie

TAC Level: 3

A tracking cookie is data stored on your computer in the form of a
cookie and is shared between two or more websites to enable them to
track your movements across the web. This will help them gather
information about your interests and tailor special marketing for you
and gather statistics when visiting their sites. While these tracking
cookies are NOT in any way harmful for your computer you might feel
they are an intrusion to your privacy. Ad-Aware supplies you with the
ability to remove these tracking cookies if you wish to do so.

For Ad-Aware SE Plus and Ad-Aware SE Professional, Ad-Watch can be
configured to block tracking cookies. In the Options screen in Ad-Watch
check "Block tracking cookies" and Ad-Watch will block tracking cookies
before entering your computer.

MSAS looks for actual spy docs not probable docs. Plus it does not workon
cookies. But its 59 check points are the best. 38 found by other spyware
should not frighten you
