Microsoft Beta Anti-Spyware vs. Yahoo Anti-Spyware

Okay, I have both installed on my notebook and it seems Yahoo has the upperhand.

I have been testing both for a couple weeks now and never, never, ever, has Microsoft found any spyware, but, as soon as I run Yahoo's spyware program once MS finishes Yahoo always finds spyware (tracking cookies though they are which according to Yahoo are not harmful).

Cookies are not spyware - period.

If the only thing that Yahoo found are cookies, then I'd say it's still on even footing with the Microsoft product. ;-)
