msas causing consistant usage spikes ..???

Hey People ... Have you heard of this???

Have been using MSAS Beta 1 for 4 months ... love
it ...works great....last week it started slowing down my
machine and making it erratic. After watching Windows
Task Manager (WTM), it shows a spike to 100% cpu usage
every 12 seconds (very consistent) .... it lasts about 3
seconds. Background for this computer is about 3-4% cpu
usage. While spiking,WTM shows two programs causing this
usage; gcasDtServ.exe and gcasServ.exe. .... both are
MSAS programs. Shut down MSAS and problems goes
away...restart MSAS and problem is back.
Have uninstalled complete program, Downloaded new program
from Microsoft and re-installed. Works fine for a few
hours and then starts the same problem again.

Running: cable modem, linksys router as firewall, zone
alarm, windows firewall disabled, norton systemworks 2005
premium, spybot, spywareblaster, microsoft anti-spyware
beta 1. All up to date and showing no problems or bugs.

ALSO, is there ANY way to send this to someone who cares
at MS??? Since it is Beta, you would think they would be
interested in potential bugs !!

Thx again,
Jerry

There's some issue with norton systemworks 2005 and
Microsoft Antispyware beta, this will definetly be
resolve on the next version of Micrsoft Antispyware. i
think you have to install something so it will fix the
bug.
