See the .Application Compatibility group, messages from
Aug 18, for a message/thread started by anonymous.

Decide by yourself.

Also, read the posts of all the gruops, sometimes you find
answers before you posts.

that post is for compatibility issue with zonealarm and
i'm not asking for that. read both question again and
compare it.

Well, its too early to judge since ZoneAlarm SS6 is a released product and
MSAS is a work in progress. MSAS is targetted specifically at Spyware and
has been good so far at finding most Spyware, its not perfect but it will
get there.

I'm running both ZAP 6.0 and MSAS plus AdAware and NAV 2005 in this
configuration. All of these address spyware to some degree.

At present here's my sit-of-the-pants guess at their respective abilities:

(1) AdAware SE - has better configuration and control. Has better update
frequency. No real-time protection. Addresses tracking cookies.

(2) MSAS - does well at real-time detection/protection and removal. Has
great promise. Has serious update problems. Does NOT address tracking
cookies.

(3) NAV 2005 - addresses those problems that are truly malware.

(4) ZAP 6.0 - very basic anti-spyware abilities.
Addresses tracking cookies.

FWIW, I don't run into much spyware on this system and I put some effort
into keeping things that way.<g>
