Microsoft AntiSpyware

[Ext User(canon1a)]

Why does Microsoft AntiSpyware not pick up a trojan on my system when XoftSpy
415 does? The trojan is AGENT.FL Using search, can't find it either. I
always search hidden files, system files, etc. XoftSpy 415 won't delete
AGENT.FL unless I pay them $39.95. None of my other AntiSpyware programs
will pick it up either

Have you ran an updated anti virus?
Further questions about Microsoft AntiSpyware should be asked in the MSAS
newsgroups:
