Hi

No, MSAS does not block or scan for tracking cookies or dataminers.

Read this from Lavasoft how they explain this, its up to you to make
your own judgement.

We don't know. We do know that a decision was made not to leave that
feature active in the beta product as released so far. We also know that
public statements have been made that they may provide this functionality in
a future version of the beta. The spyware quiz, part II, prominently
featured on page 1 at www.microsoft.com (well--pointed to, anyway!) has a
question that talks about cookies.

Stay tuned.
