Tracking cookies not detected

[John Courtney]

MS AntiSpyware is apparently not detecting certain cookies
that are passive info. collectors (i.e., so-
called 'tracking cookies', used for remote data mining).

For example, after receiving MS AntiSpyware's assurance
after a full scan that a machine is clean, I still find 16
such cookies, undetected within the IE cache.

What is going on here?

As of today MS AntiSpyware does not detect cookies,it is a
simple matter to delete your TIF takes all of 1.2 seconds.

Yep, cookies/dataminers are not detected in this beta 1 release of Microsoft
AntiSpyware, should be resolved by beta 2.
