I just installed this program and the following happened:
It found 3 problems which I had it repair. Upon reboot, "Windows Installer" comes up and then Norton Antivirus immediately appears saying to uninstall and reinstall the application as it doesn't support the repair feature. Uninstall what application? Not good - so I uninstalled the spyware program and rebooted. Same problem. Ran system restore and it would not restore. According to sys. restore, my roxio cd burn engine was deleted and the usb software was deleted immediately after running the spyware program. System restore won't work at all now. This program is junk and I won't be using it again. |

Dave,
Sorry that your system had issues with this BETA release but you should beware of potential issues when installing any BETA release : " Beta Support Policy * Important Information: This is pre-release (beta) software distributed for feedback and testing purposes. Microsoft does not provide technical support for beta releases (see below for information about how to gain access to newsgroups). If Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) is causing an issue with your system, we recommend removing it by using Add or Remove Programs and even using System Restore if the problem persists. " FYI, MAS does not uninstall/delete anything unless YOU choose it to be uninstalled/deleted. Installing BETA software on a system is inherently dangerous. Best to install it on a system that is Imaged or a test one.
