527713 2007-02-24 11:54:00 So why didn't Microsoft's own anti-spyware software pick it up?

Not exactly a great advertisement for that, irrespective of overall embarrassment.

Two reasons Their anti-spyware is not very good and no anti-spyware would have picked it as it is just a link.

Even if said product has cleaned up its act MS is a disgrace for associating themselves with it, It would be like KFC lacing their chicken with an "All New" non-lethal form of Anthrax.

Sure is tasty, and look, no death!!!
