Lavasoft Adaware

[Reuben Harris]

You should still run Lavasoft Adaware.
Microsoft AntiSpyware, doesnt find everything.

Hence the "beta."

 

[Monitor]

This is intentional, but not well documented. This build
doesn't scan for cookies. Is that what you said?.

.This Beta version found JUNK, Adaware didnt.Always run them both.

Please let us know if we are missing something by providing a detailed
description about what was missed. Spyware will be a cat and mouse game, and
as soon as we remove one threat a new threat will come to take its place. At
this time, we do not scan for cookies, which may be the behavior you are
seeing.

We must realize that MSAS is still at beta 1 stage and cannot be judged as
finished shipping product. Feedback is the key to making sure this product
is a success. Recommending alternative solutions is not answer, yes, using
them in tandem is a good suggestion though.

I would just like it to find something / anything! I must have done 20 /
30 scans!

I don't trust Lavasoft anymore. First the WhenU saga and
then the Spybot Search and Destroy "mistake".
