this spyware simply doesn't work

[jgdorado]

This spyware doesn't detect anything. Every morning it says -0- detected.
Then I run "spyware-stormer" and every morning it detects what MS didn't.

This MS stuff flat out doesn't work - period.

p.s. If MS wants to contact me so I can show them the hundreds of detections
that they don't ever find - just email me

This is intentional, but not well documented, I'm afraid.
This build doesn't scan for cookies.

Cookies are not considered spyware. They just sit there
doing nothing until the website is revisited and then
they just say that you have been there. Cookies do not
run on your system.

Thanks for the input. Sure enough the "spy-stormer" scans are cookies
(baaaad cookies). I just figured the MS spyware was supoosed to find these
too. Thanks for the response confirming MS isn't looking for these in the
Beta version.
