networking prob

When I downloaded the spyware onto my computer, I was not
able to get on the internet. i called sbc, and they told
me that my network connection was working, but the
spyware firewall was blocking my web connection. I went
back and uninstalled everything, and all is well, Does
anyone know of a way that this spyware stuff can be
customized???

Beta 1 of Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware has a feature
called real time protection that may be causing your
problem. To disable this feature follow these steps
a. Right click the Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware beta1
icon on the taskbar
b. Select Security Agents Status / Disable Real-time
Protection menu option
If your problem persists you might need to delete the
Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware Service Hook registry value
{9EF34FF2-3396-4527-9D27-04C8C1C67806} under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersi
on\Explorer\ShellExecuteHooks using a tools like regedit
(caution: when using regedit be careful only to delete
this specific registry value).
Note that running with real time protection is preferred
as it provides more control over undesired changes to the
computer that may potentially be caused by spyware.
