hello,

What gives with this product? I tell it not to load with
windows and it does. I want to use msas as an on demand
scanner only, not as a real time monitor. I prefer to use
webroot spysweeper as my real time scanner, but I cant
get msas to stop loading and coming active at windows
startup.

Please help.

thanks

Kev

Unfortunately, this program is in beta and presently is designed
primarily to function as an active preventive application. The next
beta may allow you to set it up to remain passive but not right now.

Right click the Microsoft AntiSpyware icon in the (Notification Area) system
tray and select "Security Agent" Status > "Disable Real-time Protection" or
you can just click "Shutdown Microsoft AntiSpyware" from the same right
click options.

Does this setting remain when you shutdown and reboot? I have not seen
it work that way.

If that does not work you can always try MSCONFIG.

No. the correct answer to how to disable real-time protection is to use the
workaround in this KB article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892375 End users may be prompted to allow or
block administrative actions that originate from a central management tool
after they install Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) on a computer that is managed
by Systems Management Server 2003

Right,

You can do that after it loads. I want to keep it from
loading. Unchecking the load with windows option has NO
EFFECT. Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves
unleashing this product with so many bugs. I understand
it is a beta, but cmon. This is the most basic of
options. All I want to do is keep this from loading at
startup without having to delete something from msconfig
or the registry. Shutting it down after it starts doesnt
help me.
No offense Andre, but does anyone have a real solution?

Thanks

Kev

Linux

Have you looked in msconfig? Stop gcasServ entry on Startup tab.
You'll still have the shellextension dll loaded, but it seems
pretty innocuous. When you start MSAS by the MSAS shortcuts, it
should load all executables it needs.

MSAS' strength is in its real time agents. I'd choose it over
Webroot's.
