re: Antispyware "not responding"

I have installed and uninstalled this program twice now.
When I first install it and run it, it works fine. After
that, every time I try to open the program to run it, it
never gets past the "loading" screen. I go to my Windows
Task Manager and it says "Program is not responding".

Even stranger, it's set to scan at night, and when I check
it in the morning it's actually run the scan at night like
it's suppose to, but when I click to see the results the
program freezes and again I get "Program is not
responding".

Anyone else having this problem?
I'm running 2000 Professional.

Thanks - Jill

I had that problem once but when I completed a scan (even
though it took a long time to get the program to respond)
and removed a few things the program worked fine ever
since. What caused my issue (most likely) is that I used
task manager to end its process during a removal
procedure (for testing purposes). Anyways, the program
has been working really well ever since. Spybot, Ad-
aware, Spysweeper, and even this program find nothing
anymore. There has been an update since then as I noted
that 11:00pm - 11:59pm bug was fixed. Who knows what
else was fixed as well. It would be nice to hear about
what new fixes were made.

If you are questioning why I use so many spyware tools...
well.. I'm not paranoid.. I just happen to work for MS
and test random programs as they come about. I have
nothing to lose on this computer. I use to have
PestPatrol on here but decided to drop that one.

Who knows how many times I have installed Grokster to be
able to find spyware on this system. It has been a while
since I could detect anything unless I force spyware to
install.
