Problem with Microsoft AntiSpyware

I have been running the program for about a week now.
It seems to work fine in cleaning most spyware. However
I seem to have a group of entires that keep on coming
back. If I run the beta with the broadband cable
connected they come back straight away (within seconds).
If I do it with the cable disconnected it kills them and
they stay dead until I reboot when they come back.

Does anyone have a way to diagnose where they are being
loaded from on reboot?

Have you cleared out your temp directory located under c:\Documents and
Settings > (Username) > Local Settings > Temp?

It'd be good to post just what is coming back. We've got a few experts here
(and I'm not one of them!) who can spot what bug is involved from that data
and point to effective cleaning regimens, if Microsoft Antispyware isn't
doing the job.

The simplistic advice I can offer is that if Microsoft Antispyware
recognizes a bug but doesn't succeed in cleaning it, often restarting
Windows in safe mode and doing full, deep scans until a scan comes through
clean works better. It is also a good idea to have updated your antivirus,
and to also scan with it while started in safe mode.
