Ben Edelman: Which Anti-Spyware Programs Delete Which Cookies?

The Guru of All Things Spyware & Adware, Ben Edelman has conducted an exhaustive comparison of Anti-Spyware products:

Earlier this summer, Vinny Lingham and Clicks2Customers asked me to test the current state of cookie detections by major anti-spyware programs. They had noticed that for those anti-spyware programs that detect cookies, not all cookies are equally affected. Which cookies are most affected? By which anti-spyware programs? I ran tests to see -- forming a suite of cookies, then scanning them with the leading anti-spyware programs.

Vinny is generously letting me share my results with others who are interested.
