Hello Rochelleio

I will try:

Donload and Install, Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435) is available
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893803

D/L and install Ccleaner -
http://www.ccleaner.com
http://forum.ccleaner.com/index.php?showtopic=1504
Note, uncheck Yahoos toolbar installation during install.

Open Ccleaner and start the cleaning, press "Windows" "Aplications" and "Run
Cleaner" from the menu choose 'Issues' and then press scan for issues, Repair
any fºund.

Reboot safe mode

REMOVING BETA 1
Whatever you do, (installing and updateting or unistalling) always as a
administrator.

This needs to be run in safe mode.

Rochelleio you dont need this step.- Add or Remove Programs in Control
Panel. Click Microsoft AntiSpyware and click Change. Click Next, and then
click Remove.

In Windows Programs files, delete all the sub-directorys and the folder MSAS.

Delete in Windows\system 32 :
GcColetion.dll
Hashlib.dll
GcUnCompress.dll
GcTypLibA.tbl
GcAntiSpywareLib.dll
GcUserData.gcg

Also, delete in Windows\Downloaded Installations, any reference about MSAS.

You can use Ccleaner (Twice).
Run the above remover in safe mode Ccleaner on all 3 settings(windows,apps &
issues) and clear anything found, reboot and see if it still exists.

Again, repit the same as above

Done.

Reboot

WINDOWS DEFENDER BETA 2.
I'd recommend re-downloading, and saving to a known location--like the
desktop.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
After the download is complete, disable real-time protection by your
antivirus for long enough to do the installation. This may be worth trying in
your case.
I hope this post is helpful, let us know how it works ºut.
