Are you people for real? Your UPSET that it found things like VNC and WinPCap?
I've tested it on several machines at work, and it found spyware that Adaware and Spybot couldn't. It did also mark Dameware Mini Remote (a remote desktop program) as potential spyware, as well as the custom hosts file that I put on all machines. I think all these non-spyware programs were set to "Ignore" by default, but its not too hard to set to "Ignore All" if you know it should be there.
My point is, if you use VNC/Dameware/WinPCap/whatever... , you probably know it. But if you don't use them, and it's installed on your system, its probably a GOOD thing to have a scan pick it up and make you aware of it.
So far I'm impressed with this beta, and if the worst problem all you nay sayers can find is that it's too thorough, you should probably find something else to complain about. If this didn't have "Microsoft" in front of it, I bet I good deal of you would be hailing it as one of the best anti-spyware products out there.
