Ewido now AVG Anti-Spyware

[mike12]

In the past when I would run Ewido, it always found several additional spyware items right after I ran Ad-Adware and Spybot S&D. However lately, the new AVG Anti-spyware is not finding anything at all. Then when I run Ad-Aware it finds 10 to 20 items. Just the opposite of before. Anyone else experiancing this ?

Are they finding actual spyware/malware or just cookies and MRUs?

It all depends on the order I run them on which finds the most stuff. Add Spybot to the mix and you'll get different results again. All seem to identify different cookies as "malicious".

Thanks Cricket and Panama Red for the replies. I just ran Ad-Aware again, and it found 6 Tracking cookies which is probably what it is finding most of the time. And I do not pay any attention to the MRU items, I leave them alone. Sooo, I guess I can assume that Ewido / AVG Antispyware is NOT looking for tracking cookies ??

I think Ewido just looks for some other cookies. It all depends on what the programmers identify as "bad" cookies.
