MSAS not detecting .magnet RJK 02-03-2006

Am using MS Anti-spyware Beta 1, (updated)
When I run Azureous 2.3.0.6 it drops a key called ".magnet" into my
registry. MSAS realtime scanner doesn't detect it.
Computer Associates eTrust internet security suite's Pestpatrol 5's realtime
scanner also didn't detect it but, does detect it as "Grokster" if I ran a
scan. ...that should be "when" I ran Pestpatrol scans, ...I completely
removed CA eTrust stuff 'cause their server was offline yesterday, one thing
led to another and because the damned eTrust stuff couldn't synchronize
licensing information, it almost crippled my machine. My latest opinion on
the CA eTrust software can be summarised in one word ...CRAP !

Any comments appreciated.

Comments such as "Don't run Azureous" ...not funny ! :-)

regards, Richard

Hidy Panda_man! :-)

I was replying to the OPs post here in the IE6 newsgroup. My "ooops" that I
didn't notice the cross-posts and delete the other groups.

Have a good one!
