Spy ware

[Jon]

This spyware program is a failure, it has not stopped
spyware from entering my computer although it runs all
the time.

I also have Lavasoft Ad-Aware and that works. I have
turned it off in order to give Microsoft program a fair
try.

I ran it and it found NOTHING, I ran Lavasoft Ad-Aware
and it found 36, THIRTY-SIX spywares in my computer.

Perhaps MS should stick to what they make best, oh wait
all their things are subject to being hacked and spied on
and viruses put into.

Oh well at least I got this one free. I paid for the Pro
verison of Ad-Aware and it WORKS.

SO MS what say you? want a list of what Ad-Aware found
just ask me.

Hi Jon,

Feeling better know that you got it all of your chest? Good.

First, in the Beta1 version, the program doesn't go into the cookie jar, nor
does it chase data miner objects.

In all seriousness, please post up a list of what was 'missed', especially
if they weren't dataminers or cookies. That's what the beta is for!

I will say this and not from experience but from what I
see or try to learn about this program. I don't notice
it catching anything but that is not saying it is not
catching things.

To post what Ad-Aware caught would take a lot of space,
sure you want me to do that?
