Microsoft Antispyware - MS 'sells out' to spyware makers

I am told that Microsoft Antispyware is now ignoring some annoying but non-destructive spyware. I am still using/recommending Antispyware but I make sure to change 'Ignore' to 'Delete' when it finds spyware.

Note: There is a new version of MS Antispyware as of 7-18-2005

Counterspy uses the same basic 'engine' as Antispyware but it is maintained by a separate firm and costs $20 instead of being free. Counterspy is often rated the number 1 antispyware program.
