After trying to scan my pc in all the singing and dancing
modes, I am of the opinion that Microsoft anti spyware
comes up really short of the title Anti Spyware. In
actuallity detecting spyware was a great problem for this
program, scanning before and after Ad-ware SE not to
mention other software Compared to Ad-Aware SE, sorry
guys, you have a long way to go.

I see that your rigorous testing regimen has not led you to actually reading
any posts about this issue, let alone looking carefully at what is detected
or not detected by the different programs you are testing.

Could you provide some details to support your findings and be sure to note
cookies and data-miners?

What is it that Microsoft AntiSpyware is not detecting? If its cookies or
dataminer objects its a known issue, its not supported in this beta 1
release, check back in beta 2. If its something else, try sending a
suspected spyware report from the Tools menu.
