Syware vs PCTools Spy Doctor

[Fence]

The following details the spyware risks that were
identified by Spyware Doctor.
This scan was conducted after a full scan of Microsoft
Antispyware (BETA).

Could you please advise why the Spyware Doctor picked up
these issues whilst the Microsoft program did not.

The Spyware program is only the base level and has not yet
been registered to have the full version scan the system.

Initial information from PC Tools is that there may be
other risks which will be picked up with the full version
post registration. Great way to have people pay for the
program.

MSAS is not looking for cookies or dataminers(cookies) in this release.
SInce they are text files and can be controlled in IE already, the
concentration looks to be set on making sure malicious spyware ca be found
and removed before any other fluff features are considered.

Uhh. This version doesn't scan for cookies or dataminers.

<Great way to have people pay for the program.>
You got me there. Which program are you speaking of? THe final version of
the MSAS will be available at no charge to licensed users.
