After I scanned my system it found two items. One is a
file of my own that it misidentified. The other is WinPCap which I actually use for developement on this system so it's not spyware in this case. For both items I left the default option of "Ignore". When I click "Continue" I get the "You have selected to ignore all detected threats. Would you like to continue." to which I say "yes". It then shows me a summary of "Quarantine: 0, Remove: 0, Ignore Always: 0 Ignore: 2" and "Send to SpyNet" is checked by default. I choose yes to perform the actions. It then tells me that IE is running and to clean my system it has to close it but the only thing I told it to do is ignore the 2 things it found! Why does it need to close IE to ignore them? If I close IE and continue it then reports what I ignored to SpyNet. That may or may not be correct depending on if they are trying to use the number of times something is ignored in rating the severity of the item. However if by choosing ignore it just means the application is supposed to ignore the items and not report them as ignored then something seems to be wrong there. |

Me too, it's very annoying. Does anyone from Microsoft
read these posts? Will this get fixed? >-----Original Message----- >Ditto I get this. > >>-----Original Message----- >>After I scanned my system it found two items.

Microsoft does read the posts. Whether it gets fixed or not we won't know
until a build appears in which the behavior goes away. Keep testing with new builds. I really don't expect to see more than one more build in the course of this beta, before the final product. Reading between the lines, the build we just received may have been distributed because of a legal issue with the original build. -- FAQ for Microsoft Antispyware: http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm "Jim" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:076001c51b71$22e9a8c0$a501280a@phx.gbl... > Me too, it's very annoying.
