What good is MS Anti-Spyware?
From: "John Watson"
Wow this is so true. I can run Norton system works right
after MS Spyware and it finds at 5 to 10 spyware on my
computer to delete but MS Spyware found Zippity Dooda!
Nada! Not even when I first installed, 3 weeks ago, did
it find anything. Plus Internet Agents, System Agents and
Application Agents all have been showing INACTIVE In RED
since last night and I don't what that means!And I can't
make them active. Yep I do believe this is some kind of
plaything that Mocrosoft has madr up to make us think we
are getting protection. And yes I am so glad I didn't
have to pay for it. Gee Microsoft and I have always
trusted in you, why would you do a crazy thing like this?

JoAnne;
It performs very good, but even so, most suggest using multiple tools since
they all get and miss something and that changes regularly.
I currently regularly run 3 tools to check for spyware.

If you have a problem with MSAS, try uninstalling/reinstalling.

Also the current build does not detect cookies possibly because they are
easily controlled from within Internet Explorer and other browsers.
But you failed to specify exactly what was detected by others and missed by
MSAS.
