I want to echo the same concern. Spy Sweeper found a ton of
stuff after AntiSpyware claimed my system was clean. Sure
some of them were cookies but not all of them were. If they
arrived between the time that I ran AntiSpyware and Spy
Sweeper, why didn't AntiSpyware block them? There is
certainly room for improvement, and I'm sure it will happen.
AntiSpyware detected no threats, so I installed Webroot Spy
Washer trial version , and it detected a number of items
that MS AntiSpyware apparently missed. I have appended the
MS AntiSpyware History details immediately below and the
Spy Sweeper log below that.
I posted these logs yesterday, but here is an edited
version (I removed all the lines referencing cookies):

I've been running Antispyware on my WP system, on Firefox
browser, for a week now and love it. There are *no* popups
at all, or any other baloney as far as I can see.
I run Antispyware once a day, when the computer comes on in
the morning, and it always says there is nothing detected.
I have just now (25 minutes ago, before writing this post)
run Lava Ad-aware, Spybot Search and Destroy, and
PestPatrol, and they say there is absoltuely *nothing* on
my system.
Ditto Antispyware, run 10 minutes ago.
Spysweeper, however, says that it has found the following
items:
Adware:
# Bargain Buddy
# BlazeFind
# CasinoToolbar
# IEPlugin
# InternetOptimizer
# IstBar
# NaviSearch
# PurityScan
# SearchRelevancy
# Startpage
# WildMedia
Cookies:
# 69.93.205 Cookie
# AA Cookie
# Ads.businessweek Cookie
# Ask Cookie
# Ccbill Cookie
# go.com Cookie
# InternetFuel Cookie
# myaffiliateprogram.com Cookie
# Serving-sys Cookie
# SDMember Cookie
# Tickle Cookie
# TvGuide Cookie
What's going on? The names of this stuff all sound to me
like spyware or malware of one sort or anther. Can
Antispyware NOT detect it, or what?
Is someone at Microsoft reading this????
I sure hope so.
I think you have a great program (in spite of what the Wall
Street Journal might have said this morning), but I don't
want it to be just "great", I want it to be *perfect*!!!

Hi Howard,
