Finds only one spyware per scan

[Guest]

MS Antispyware finds no more than one spyware for a scan. I must scan 3 times
to find 3 spyware. I delete them each time.

It found 4 spyware the first time I installed MS Antispyware. It has never
found more than one for each scan since then.

Is MSAS calling the spyware it finds Nameshifter, by any chance? These things
can be like Chameleons, random name changes.

Try scanning in Safe boot mode to see if it can get rid of any type of spyware
permanently

No offence, but the whole ULTIMATE GOAL of the program is to NOT find ANY
spyware during a scan... If it's doing it's job, and you are careful in
what you do online, you should come up with ZERO each time you scan...

If you are scanning three times, and getting one each time, then the spyware
is not being removed, and the same one is being found over and over again...
Try scanning in "safe mode" to see if you can clear that one up once and for
all...
