For the second time this Spyware has identified some ATI
files as Spyware. Without thinking I removed these files
and have created a problem with my MultiMediaCenter that
I have been unable to get fixed even with a re install.
Last night, once again Spyware has identified another 7
or 8 files as Spyware and again has identified these as
Spyware. Is Microsoft not familiar with ATI graphics
cards and software? If this continues I will have to
once again remove this Spyware from my computer. I need
an explanation from Microsoft and advice as what I should
do if this continues. My Acronis Privacy Expert software
does not identify these same files as Spyware. Microsoft
please respond.

Microsoft AntiSpyware is not a supported product of Microsoft.

Microsoft AntiSpyware is currently in beta-test trials. It is expected that
beta-test trialists will find and identify shortcomings in the product, and
should be able to cope with them, either on their own account, or by sharing
their problems and solutions with other beta-test trialists. If a user is
unable to cope with the demands of beta-test trials, then the appropriate
thing to do is to uninstall the product.

Microsoft AntiSpyware does not delete anything without the user's consent.
It is to be expected during a beta-test trial that the user should exercise
due judgment before agreeing to any file deletion proposed by the
application. Trialists should not simply allow the application to perform
all the deletions it suggests. Users should always be conscious of the
possibility of false positives.

About MultiMedia Center

Potential issue with Windows Media Center Extender

There is an incompatibility between Windows AntiSpyware
and Windows Media Center Extender. If you install Windows
AntiSpyware on a computer running Windows XP Media Center
Edition 2005, Windows Media Center Extender cannot
establish a remote connection. If you want to connect to a
Windows Media Center Edition 2005-based computer by using
Windows Media Center Extender, uninstall Windows
AntiSpyware. For more information, see the KB article at
support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;892374

Advice
Open Microsoft AntiSpyware and send a suspected spyware
report from the Tools Menu.

Yo John:

Bummer, dude.

What ATI card are we talking abt? I've got a 9550 and
have never had any problems at all with MSAS.

Maybe try a complete un-install and then re-install.
Have you downloaded the latest ATI updates from Technet?

Let us know,

I am talking about the ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro. I have
done an un install and a re install and it didn't work. I
am waiting help from ATI. I am using the lastest update

Hi John:

Well it seems that you've done what you could to fix
whatever is going on. The post from Anon seems to
indicate an issue with WMC Extender and MSAS, but what
remote connecting has to do with a conflict with the ATI
files and MSAS is beyond me. Did you check the link that
was referenced and did it apply?

I do know that in the last 6 months there have not been
any similar complaints regarding any ATIs and MSAS. The
one post I did find was related to the ATI launchpad.exe
but it was still working okay.

If you do hear back from ATI, please let the rest of us
know...Might just save someone else from having a problem.

Tks,

RobbieA

You appear to be experiencing a false positive with the
current versions of ATI Catalyst drivers. This was
introduced with definition versions 5743 last week.

New definitions, 5745, came out late last night.

I don't know whether this false positive is resolved in
these newer definitions--I'd be pleased to hear back from
anyone affected whether this still shows up with the
newer definitions.

I have tried to send a suspected spyware report form to
Microsoft about my problem about 6 times and continue to
get nothing but an error message.

Thanks for making those attempts. In my experience, if this reporting fails
instantly, it is probably a bug at work, and it isn't going to change.

This bug has been reproduced by Microsoft, but I don't expect to see it
fixed before beta2.
