I noticed that when I run MS antispyware and have it set to remove tracks
it doesnt clear cookies and temp files from the internet settings. It
appears to clear list of visited sites from the browser and sets you up with
a clean browser but all of the list of visited site, cookies etc are still
there if one was to be bothered to look into the view files within IE
options, what good is that, I nay as well clear them out manually as thats
what I have to do anyway.

Cookie scanning is not supported in this beta 1 release of Microsoft
AntiSpyware, should be by beta 2.

Also is seems that it doesn't clear the C:\ Documents and
Settings\user_name\history

So all your tracks are still there.
