The startup protection can be easaly bypassed

[Guest]

Hello All,

The Microsoft antispyware can be bypassed very easily.
you can see it for your self by opening the startup folder adding a .bat
that contain something like "format c:\ /y " the program will prompt to ask
you what do you want to do , allow or block it .
But if you add an empty .bat file, wait for a few seconds , the program will
allow it automatically - without asking your approval!!!
After that ,you can inject any string and the msantispyware will not detect
the changes. (Can be tested using echo format c: /y > file.bat).
You can write a simple app that will utilize this problem.
I hope the guys in ms will solve this security hole at the next update cycle.

Please re-test this when beta2 is released before March 31, we expect. This
has been commented on before--let's see how they manage it in the beta2
product.
