none. Any comments on why this might happen

Cookies by any chance? Feature not implemented in this beta.

Yes, mine found three not found by Microsoft. Is this a
basic problem with the program or definition files not
sufficiently complete? At this point, it does not look
like one can rely on Microsoft.

Ya all should read the threads in here before you post. Ad-aware probably
found tracking cookies which is not enabled in MS anti-spyware. Tracking
cookies are very east to manage or delete without any "spyware/adware"
program.

Hi Bill,
My guess is that the ten 'object's' found were, in fact, cookies.
Beta1 of this program, at this time, does not go into the cookie jar.

Let me know if I'm wrong.

Ad-aware 6 is no longer supported or updated. You should upgrade to
Ad-aware SE.
