Was using a different anti-spyware product and it flagged
certain Internet cookies as dangerous and removed them on
command. Does the MS product consider some cookies to be
dangerous? I ran the MS Beta and some of the cookies
that would have been flagged by my old product are not
flagged by the MS product.

Cookies are not detected with MSAS Beta 1, maybe
in Beta 2 and Final. MS thinks.........

For spyware hunting you will need redundant programs
with todays situation. Maybe in future MSAS can cover this
but I dont think that is possible.

I personally recommend MSAS and Adware SE, free version
for manual extra scans from time to time.
