First run of new MS spyware detection

[Bill]

Ran full scan of new MS spyware detection and revealed no
spyware. Ran Spybot and revealed spyware.

 

[Harry]

Ran Ad-Aware SE and found 7 spyware and the MS Spyware
didn't find any

 

[Ron Chamberlin]

Hi Bill,
What did Spybot find that MSAS didn't?
In the Beta1 version, the program doesn't go into the cookie jar, nor does
it chase data miner objects.

Hi Harry,
Care to share what was found? Remember too that the MSAS doesn't check
cookies or dataminers at this time.

Spybot detects 5 problems everytime I open Internet
Explorer. It states there is a hole in IE allowing this
and to date I have been unable to fix.

Some, at least, of these are DSO? This is an incorrect call on the part of
Spybot Search & Destroy, and acknowledge by the author, and fixed in betas
of the next release, downloadable here:

among other places.

Ron,

I'll run it again and let you know.

Ron,

Are you guys intending on having MS Antispyware find
tracking cookies and/or chase data miner objects?
