MS antispyware

[Sayed Alzanaty]

I run two antispyware programms at the same time.
Spyhunter has detected 7 threats. Microsoft has detected
only different one. Why ? How I feel secure with
Microsoft software if the results are so contrasted ?

It is well documented that Beta 1 of Microsoft AntiSpyware does not bother
detecting cookies. If the results of "Spyhunter" include cookies, you can
disregard them in the comparison.

Cookies are simple text files that cannot damage your PC, or Windows, or any
software or settings.

Microsoft AntiSpyware detects most malicious spyware that can damage your
PC, or Windows, or your software or settings.
