Default Spyware Program does not find spyware


I downloaded and ran Microsoft Anti spyware Beta. Than
ran Spybot and Ad Ware. Microsoft found 0. Spybot found
1 and Ad Ware found 2 major and a dozen negligible. I
proceeded to uninstall Microsoft Anti spyware. Sorry,
better luck next time.

Barry;
Were any of the findings cookies?
Microsoft AntiSpyware is not intended to find cookies at this time.
Also your comparisons to released versions and Beta are flawed.

However if you did have any real problems, they are totally irrelevant since
you do not share them largely defeating the purpose of installing a Beta in
the first place.
