Have you visited the anti-spyware vendors' sites to see what they say with regard to Vista Beta 2?

Yes it is my habit to use questioning to encourage folks to think through issues and as a means to point out that the research for the answer to the poster's question is ready to hand.

With Windows Vista you don't need an antispyware because in Vista you use a Least-Privileged User Account, UAC and because the new security architecture. So it's pretty difficult you'll get a spyware in Vista.

Bill is actually correct. Windows Defender and the new user account restrictions do pretty much eliminate the classic spyware, which is what adaware and others are doing anyway.

While UAC and Defender should protect you reasonably well (especially UAC unless you just always click allow without actually paying attention to what you are allowing), Spybot does work well with build 5384. It is the only 3rd party spyware protection that I am using so far. Though UAC has blocked everything so far.

Wow well I have Ad- aware from Lavasoft and it detects more spyware on my Windows Vista machine than my xp. I think even you have the anti-pishing, and defender, and pop-blocker and even the UAC, Vista seems to me that is less secure than Xp, try for yourself and see how much spyware and files : ad-aware find in a Windows Vista pc , more than xp

The danger is that AdAware is detecting false positives (legitimate Vista files that AdAware is judging spyware when they aren't). Proceed file by file before deleting or quarantining.

Are you dual booting with XP? Is the spyware found on the XP partition or the Vista partition? How much of what was found is cookies or registry entries that are different from XP so flagged as suspicious?
