ok... so what does it look for?

[MichaelV]

so far it has not found anything. some how though Adaware seems to keep
finding 30+ each time I scan. I think it is stopping any registry
entrys, because Adaware hasn't found any of those since I installed MS
AntiSpyware, but from what I can tell it hasn't stopped even one
tracking cookie...
so what is the definition used to define spyware?
just curious what it is looking for, are tracking cookies not spyware?

Microsoft Antispyware does not scan for cookies, or tracking cookies, in the
builds distributed thus far. Microsoft has said that this functionality
might be included in a further beta build.

thanks for clearing that up

Yup--it'd be nice if this was more obvious but.... The scan count for
cookies does stay at zero.
