After installing the Antispyware from Microsoft... I
noticed a little slowdown in many programs... including startup, shut down, and many others. Most of all I noticed a big slowdown in MusicMatch Jukebox Plus. So, I re-installed MMJB. The same result... the Antispyware slows it dow to almost intolerable speed. Anyone else have this problem? What can be done to fix the problem? |

It could be possible that you have spyware on your system:
Yes, do a full system scan in safe mode, open Microsoft AntiSpyware, on the scan page, choose Scan Options > Full System scan, make sure all boxes are checked then click "Run Scan Now". Restart in Safe Mode Instructions: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/...t_failsafe.mspx Also: Run antivirus (with current definitions) while you are in safe mode. It could be that Microsoft AntiSpyware is still loading while you attempt to use those other applications that have slowed down. Also check the file sized of your error log under c:\programs files\Microsoft AntiSpyware, if its really big, shut down Microsoft AntiSpyware from the system tray, go back to c:\programs files\Microsoft AntiSpyware and delete the error log, uninstall MSAS restart the machine and reinstall. -- Andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta FAQ for MS AntiSpy http://www.geocities.com/marfer_mvp/FAQ_MSantispy.htm "Rick" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:13f701c547b4$907d66f0$a401280a@phx.gbl... > After installing the Antispyware from Microsoft...
