Lavasoft Ad-Aware is better!

I have run Microsift spyware for a week now and each time
it has not detected any spyware; however, when I run
Lavasoft Ad-Aware, it finds 15 to 20 files to delete each
day. Why can Microsoft's Spyware find anything?
 
Microsoft AntiSpyware beta 1 does not detect data miners and cookies, maybe
thats what Ad-aware is detecting. This should be supported in beta 2. I
would not prefer to compare a product such as MSAS which is still in
development. Wait until the final version is released to make an impartial
comparison to other third party utilities on the market.
 
Because MSAS, in its current incarnation, doesn't scan for
cookies and Ad-Aware does. This isn't an issue of "better"
or "worse" -- they represent different "takes" on the
definition of spyware.
