Don't Install AntiSpyware - YET

Their Anti-Spyware just removed my Firewall!

I had to do a system restore to get it all working again.

It also removed our Net Nanny search function.

I'm a little apprehensive about reinstalling the software!

This (AntiSpyware removes XP SP2 firewall) is not a generally true
statement. I just installed MS Windows AntiSpyware on three different
Windows XP SP2 machines with the firewall enabled and all three went very
smoothly.

Apprehensive to reinstall the product? It is only in Beta
stage!

Or better still, stick with SpyBot, Adaware, A², and
Firefox. That way, you are guaranteed minimal to no
problems at all.

For now.......

Heh. The firewall thing is an anomaly, but it SHOULD be
messing with censoring software. Leagues worse than any
normal spyware, and a violation of basic human rights.

Very happy for you.

However, my version of did not go smoothly and I'm
picking there will be more posts to this newsgroup
regarding the same issue.

Hoepfully the development team reads this and will
provide a fix

A simple search in these newsgroups will reveal the
same 'firewall' problem emerging amongst a growing number
of users.

I'm sure Microsoft would not want to distribute their
new 'spyware' software knowing that in many cases it
removes the key 'firewall' security feature in their main
Windows OS??

MAS doesn't remove anything! You must approve all "removals".
