System Tray Icon

I just noticed tonight that the system tray icon has
changed from orange to blue. When I put my mouse on it I
get a balloon pop up saying "Microsoft Antispyware -
Active" What gives? Is part of the count down to the Beta
end date?
Thanks,
Ted

I got the same thing on my work computer. On my home computer it is still
'the opriginal' icon, I would also like to know what that means...

Found the solution in other group: )

the answer: when MSAS is scanning, and you use fast
switching to another user, the icon will be blue when you
switch back! It's a bug, it has no meaning. Also when
using remote desktop the icon seems to turn blue, so i've
read months ago on one of the usergroups. It's a pity
that the SEARCH option on this usergroup has been turned
off, otherwise it would be easier to find the requested
info. Jan from the Netherlands.
