behavior, you can submit a report to Microsoft directly through Windows
AntiSpyware (Beta):

• Fill out a description of the problem and click "Create Report."

• After Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) does a scan of your computer, click
"Submit Report."

discretion. When you set up Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) for the first time, the
Setup Assistant will ask you if you want to participate in the SpyNet
anti-spyware community. If you select "Yes," whenever Windows AntiSpyware (Beta)
brings to your attention a program that demonstrates suspicious activity but is
not currently in the definition library, you will have the option to submit your
response ("Allow" or "Block" the program) to SpyNet. These responses enable
Microsoft researchers to discover new threats quickly. Definitions are then
created for programs that meet
