MS Anti-Spyware seems to need some work detecting ad
related cookies. Below is a report from Spybot after scan
run by MS Anti-Spyware. MS found 6 spyware programs and
Spybot found none after MS ran. But there were quite a
few ad cookies not found in the MS scan. In fact MS found
no ad related cookies at all.
Here is a list of the cookies found by Spybot:
