Microsoft Anti-Spyware doesnt like to work with Windows Firewall

[Nick Jacquot]

Installed the Anti-Spyware program, updated it, ran the
scan, and needed to restart. After that a dialogue box
pops up saying no firewall enabled, so i go to enable it
through the Firewall control panel and it doesnt allow
it. I have service pack 2 with all the latest updates.
In order to fix this problem, one must use system
recovery and roll back one day. This has happened so far
on 3 different systems with XP Pro with Service Pack 2
with the latest updates. My suggestion to everyone is
not to install this Anti-Spyware program intill Microsoft
looks into this problem and comes up with a solution.

When you say:

Ran the scan, and it needed to restart

I take it that you told it to clean some things. It might be useful to know
what was cleaned--which is contained in a log in the directory that MS
Antispyware is installed in.

I'd love to see the content of Cleaner.log--preferably in the networking
group where this conversation belongs.
