Anti Spyware doesn't handle multiple users correctly

H

After two days Anti Spyware feels OK.

Here's one non-fatal but annoying bug, though: Several
family members use the same XP home with own usernames.
Every time IE is started and the user is not the same as
previous time, Anti Spyware warns about switching the
home page. I.e. current home page seems to be stored as a
global attribute rather than per user.

Or maybe this is a MS ad, as the warning always suggests
that msn.com is the right homepage ;-)

Hi,

Nah, it's not a suggestion that turns you onto msn, it's a bug at this stage
of the Beta.
Of course, once marketing gets wind of it, things may change. :)

It picks MSN because it has to pick something, and MSN was the default for
the OS as installed. If this were an OEM install with, say, a Dell home
page, that'd be what would be suggested. You can fix this a tools, advanced
tools, browser hijack settings.
