Hello All: I installed M.S. AntiSpyware 1.0.501 soon after it came out.
I also have Ad-Aware SE Personal 1.05, SpywareBlaster 3.4, Spybot
Search & Destroy 1.3 and CWShredder 2.14. I am gama testing all of
them to try and find the least combination that will work for folks in
my work group. Lately, I have been letting MS AntiSpyware have first
try with manual scans. Of course my test XP Pro system is SP2 with the
latest updates of the moment, and hours ago I saw that the definitions
were "5717".
Though I surf just as much as the next person, this AntiSpyware Beta 1
has NEVER "caught" anything - ever. I have AntiSpyware set to run full
scans with all options checked.
I usually follow with a manual scan using Spybot S&D and/or sometimes
Ad-Aware. Spybot just found 34 and Ad-Aware found 14 + 23 negligibles.
In the beginning, I thought that M.S. just needed some time to
accumulate malware signatures through SpyNet but, this has gone on too
long. I also have AntiSpyware installed on 4 other updated/current W2K
Pro & XP Pro systems and only one system found one thing.
Is anyone else getting similar results like mine? What's wrong? TIA!
