Microsoft AntiSpyware Realtime protection/security agents

[Guest]

i have the latest version of the MS Anti spyware but all of security agents
dont work. when i inspect it closely it appears that the checkpoints have
been wiped. and yet the rest of the programme works perfic? Could it be a
virus or trojan since my anti-virus decided to pack up?

AntiSpyware, Install Path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft AntiSpyware\, Real-time
protection running: True, Real-time protection enabled: True, Security Agents
Application Enabled: False, Security Agents Internet Enabled: False, Security
Agents System Enabled: False, Security Agents Checkpoints: 18, Definitions
Update Date: november 28, 2005 at 14:40.

Try this fix:

1) Open up a command prompt (start -> run -> cmd)
2) Type in the following "regsvr32 msvbvm60.dll" (without the quotes).
3) Close and re-open Windows AntiSpyware

thank you very much it has fixed the problem! Is this a common flaw in the
programme?

 

[Bill Sanderson]

This is an interaction with other software on your machine--most commonly
seen with Symantec products--i.e. you install or upgrade a Symantec product,
and this is an unseen side effect.

This won't happen with the beta2 product when that is available sometime
next year.

Bill,
It worked wondres. My anti-spyware is now working perfectly!!
Thanks a million!! What was the problem anyway???

This is due to a kind of "dll hell" issue with other software on your
system. It'll be fixed when beta2 is released, which will be soon, I
believe.
