You should have automatically detect settings checked.

Hi Geoff,
Do you recall what the 10 'infections' were that Spyware Dr. spotted?
If they were cookies or dataminers, this version of MWAS doesn't check for
them.

I have the same problems. MS will not pick up the things
that Spybot does.

Here is the list of spyware on the report:
