Well, I don't want to sound like I'm defending the choice to mark Claria
(specifically that one kind of irks me) as defaulting to ignore but it still
detects it and allows it's removal simply by not doing the default action.
Secondly, it is, as you know, a beta product meaning that it's for testing
purposes. What exactly is being tested is up for discussion in the
appropriate forums. "Average user[s]" should probably not be beta testing
products no matter how heavily advertised.
For future reference there have been newsgroups setup specifically for the
Microsoft Anti-Spyware beta:
Support for Beta of Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware
At this time, support for the beta version of Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware
is being provided through the following Microsoft
newsgroups:

- microsoft.private.security.spyware.install
