ad aware still finding more objects

[Brent]

still finding that ad aware is finding more objects. All
definitions have been updated, etc.

Anything I might be doing wrong?

Microsoft Antispyware doesn't scan for cookies, in the builds released thus
far.

Hi

No I dont think so, you can start Adaware, go to Open
quarantine list
choose last scan and open, you probably only have tracking
cookies
within this list ?

MSAS Beta1 don´t search för tracking cookies.

One more problem is we dont have any list from MS what newer
defintions include as this:

But this is typical MS behavior............. ;(

I doubt it being anythign you are doing. I have the same
issue and I run Ad-aware, MS Anti-spyware and Freedom anti-
spyware. They all find something different then the other.
Ad-ware often finds more! I think MS anti-spyware is just
more cautious in its selection of what is spyware. My
suggestion is to continue using both.

Hi, you are not doing anything wrong! Microsoft Anti
Spyware is still in its developing fase and therefore
might not find as much as Ad Aware. For example, Ad Aware
scans cookies ans Microsoft Anti Spyware doesnt. So be
patient and cross your fingers microsoft will fix problems
like these

Best regards,
