Limited Account definition update,

[Guest]

If beta 2 or final version support Limited Account will I
be able to update definition on Limited Account? on
spysweeper 4.0 you can update definition on any account
including limited account but some antispyware/antivirus
software can't install definition on limited account is
this the case on MSAS on beta 2 or final?

Hopefully it will be supported to do Administrative updates for Microsoft
AntiSpyware under limited accounts. Why its not supported now was simply
because of how the program was developed under the original developer GIANT,
as solely a single user application. The program went directly into beta 21
days after being purchased, so there is still more to expect between now and
beta 2 and we might just see some drastic changes.

Steve Dodson also posted some information on this topic I don't know if it
would be considered antiquated now:
You have a limited user account running the application looking for spyware
on all files and folders. This includes the administrator account which
limited users may not be able to access. So we have to approach this
carefully in order to remove the spyware from all locations, but also
preserve file and folder permissions and access.

In short, we are addressing this for a future release, but it involves some
major coding and testing.
