I run three antispyware applications daily: Microsoft Antispyware,
MicroTrend, and Spy Sweeper. Microsoft Antispyware (Beta) runs first and
never identifies anything. Whichever application I run second routinely
identifies 20 - 30 items and/or traces to be removed. Any thoughts as to why
your Beta software never identifies any problems?

>>Any thoughts as to why your Beta software never identifies any problems?

This is not a microsoft support site.This is a newsgroup of average (or not
so average) users of windows to exchange info.

What problems are the other programs finding "Cookies" if so MASB does not
detect cookies they really are not a problem.

If you are finding this many malware apps. daily and they are not cookies
something is serious wrong with your security.
Do you have "Spy Sweepers" realtime shields turned on?

Thanks. I suspected Beta was not designed to detect cookies, but did not
want to answer my own question and provide responders with an easy out.
Thanks for the antispyware link.
