Hi

Is there anyone who is using Microsoft AntiSpyware engine Beta1 or 2? I have it on my computer but this engine newer found any spyware or dialers. This is strange. I have also AD-Aware SE Personal and every time I run this software the engine found both dialers and spyware.
Microsoft AntiSpyvare must be a bad search engine.

I tried Microsoft's Antispyware too, and didn't like it much. It's all pretty and shiny but didn't find me anything either. I run my system very strictly, nothing unidentified comes in here. But even so Ad-Aware always warns me about certain data mining cookies it catches from time to time.

Also tried Spyware Blaster, and think it's very good too, altough I stick to Ad-Aware because I'm used to it. Been using it for a long time already.

I tried MS anti-spyware beta and uninstalled it because it consumed CPU cycles when not actually scanning.

I run AdAware, Spybot Search & Destroy, SpywareBlaster and PC Tools Spyware Doctor. Somewhere I have a copy of PestPatrol but haven't used it for ages!

I ALWAYS perform an update and scan with AdAware, Spybot and S_Blaster before internet banking.

I use Ad-Aware, Spybot, Spyware Blaster and Spysweeper *whistles innocently*. All I usually get are data mining cookies.
