Is it possible to stop a spyware scan without aborting the
scan? Using other products, like adaware, spysweeper, etc. you can stop the scan mid way and clear out the spyware it detected. Every time I try to stop a scan in Microsoft Anti-Spyware, it just aborts it. So, I can't remove any of what it already detected. It's a bit frustrating since it's the only program that's detecting some of the spyware on the machine, and there are still obvious problems. Does anyone have an option I just haven't seen? ~Jessica |

I don't think that is possible. But the question that is left unanswered,
suppose there are more spyware left to be found. I would just set aside some time and let MSAS do its job and scour that system. -- Andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm "Jessica" <janiukjf@uwec.edu> wrote in message news:1bf501c53175$0e405940$a601280a@phx.gbl... > Is it possible to stop a spyware scan without aborting the > scan?
