Beta Microsoft Antispyware Problems,

[Sidney]

Hello,
I downloaded the beta microsoft antispyware program and
this program is set to run a scheduled scan and this
program does Not run it's scheduled scan and I am Not
able to access the spyware community to report the
spywares that I find on this computer and this program is
constantly being DISABLED?

Do you have any suggestions to help correct these
problems with the beta microsoft antispyware?

Thank You,

The problems with the scheduler are myriad. Many folks have found that
setting to a time, say, 15 minutes later works well. I've done successful
nightly scans at 5:05 and 11:11, as I recall. Times between noon and 1
don't work.

Not being able to report is an issue I don't have a fix for, except to say
that others have this issue too. If you have a software firewall that
interdicts oubound traffic, you'll need to open it for the Microsoft
Antispyware applications. Information is in the help about this--search on
firewall ports.

When you say that the program is constantly being disabled, can you describe
what that looks like?
