Which of course without it, I can't get into my hard drive.

Was uninstalling it (ce-infoysys.com) to upgrade it and
during uninstallation, Anti spy attempted to disable the
uninstallation. Corrupting both Windows XP and my ability
to get into my own machine. Anti Spy corrupted my MBR!!!
Both partitions are lost.

I'm not familiar with this product--is it an encryption mechanism?

Have you talked to their tech support folks about this experience?

basically a program that modifies the MBR so that it won't
let a person into a computer unless they have a name and
password

the anti spy program thought it was a bad program and
corrupted the uninstall. lost everything.

Thanks--when you say "thought it was a bad program"--did Microsoft
Antispyware identify the program by name? Or did it identify a component of
the program and name it as some particular threat?

If Microsoft wanted to investigate the interaction with this program--what's
the home web site for the product?
