Disappointment

I was looking forward to see a great program. But I see a real
disappointment.

I downloaded the program and run it on a XP machine. It found only 1
item which was an open source packet filter.

I then run Spy Bot - it found 16 items.

I then ran Ad Aware SE. It found an additional 21 items.

That's why they call it a beta

You're seeing that discrepancy because cookie scanning in
Windows AntiSpyware is not enabled for the beta. that's
what accounts for the extra 15 and 20 items respectively.

Did you perform a full system scan with everything checked?
Out of curiosity, what did SS&D and AAW SE find that this
beta didn't?

Then I guess that http://www.spynet.com/info_spywarectriera.aspx is
wrong.

Microsoft could eliminate much of the problem if they would tighten
down Internet Explorer.

Thats because cookies are not being scanned.
