I know, as i said in my post: It's very gooed to detect those. Nothhing against that, just listing them in my post to be complete, it's not my mission to be 100% negative :).


To everyone saying: "It's beta" or "It's still a beta"...
I am very much aware of that and i know what that means. But if nobody would make any comment about beta software, then why would there be a public beta release? Feedback is always wanted for beta software, if nobody would comment about a bug or other issue in beta software, then that problem will most likely still be there in the final release. But you are right that this is not the right place to report issues about Microsoft's AntiSpyware, i posted it in Microsoft's newsgroup now.

Also, this is not an anti Microsoft or a pro Messenger Plus! thing. In fact i think it's really good that Microsoft comes with their own (hopfully free) anti spyware tool now. I fix people's computer on my work and know how much spyware can do. And if i would blame anybody it would be Giant and not Microsoft just bought the software from Giant. But i don't blame Giant either, just pointing out some issues and hoping it will be fixed.

I dont think any of them are false
They sure have some kind of valid reason for most detection, but let me point out the most abvious ones again:
  • eDonkey is detected on my system. However, i don't have eDonkey on my system and never had. The files that are detected belong to eMule. The only connection between both is that they connect to the same P2P network. eMule does not contain any ad/spyware, in fact eMule is an open source project. So if you don't believe it, check the source code. How would you explain this as a valid detection?
  • Grokster is detected on my system. But i didn't installed this software and never had. In fact the file detected is part of KazaA Lite. This "lite" version of kazaa i installed doesn't contain any wpyware, which is also proven by all other anitspyware tools i know of.
Finish the problem
