Microsoft antispyware and Windows XP

[Guest]

Why does the program keep on asking the same questions over and over again
after you have approved its action? This happens when you use the
antispyware program in a user account. If you use it as administrator it
will accept your answer.

This question applies to broader problems for limited (user) accounts in
windows XP. I wish the restrictions for user accounts didn't get in the way
of using installed programs. After all the administrator can install the
programs safely, but the user is hastled after the installation. That is
probably the number one reason must people only user the administrator
account and bypass the the limited (user) accounts altogether. This creates
an unsafe environment for most people. Subjecting them to spyware and virus
activity.

Yes, this is a known limitation in the current builds of Microsoft
AntiSpyware, this problem will be resolved in the beta 2 release of
Microsoft Windows Defender (Microsoft AntiSpywares new name), it will also
run as a service.
