Failure to Identify Known Spyware

[LRK]

I ran a scan (after updating the definitions) and the
report indicated no spyware. Great, I thought. Then I ran
a scan using Ad-Aware SE Personal (free on the internet)
and the report indicated 7 critical spyware hits existed.
I am concerned that the Microsoft software did not
recognize what Ad-Aware found. Anyone else experiencing a
similar concern?

Adaware most likely found cookies MS antispyware currectly
does not scan for cookies

My recollection is that the 7 items were "IE tracking.."
items. Are these cookies?

In the Beta1 version, the program doesn't go into the cookie jar, nor does
it chase data miner objects.
Chances are that's the difference in what was 'found.'
