MS scan tool does NOT work on known threats. (Score 1)

The other day at work, I was using a phone near a computer workstation running XP. It seems it had just received the update that installs the spyware scan tool because the final popup was on the screen saying "Windows blah bla tool has scanned your computer and found 0 threats" Oh really? I thought... I had installed SpyBot S&D on this machine a couple months ago. The user wasn't around so I scanned the system with it. It found 37 threats. So much for MS's attempt. As is usually the case, too little too late.
