AntiSpyware feedback

[Zeb Bowden]

Is there an alias we can send feedback to regarding the
beta of antispyware?

I've noticed on XP SP2 machines, when running as a plain
user that it doesn't seem to remember the actions I set.
For instance, it prompts me that my homepage in IE is
different from the default. I select allow and the
remember this action box is checked. However, each time I
logoff and back in I get prompted for the same stuff.
Anyone else noticed this?

zeb,

Are you referring to IE Settings from Advanced Tools, System Explorers,
IE Settings ? Have found this does not change nor retain any settings on
my system. Go into Tools, Advanced Tools, Browser Hijack Restore, and
reset IE's settings from there. It has retained my settings for IE from
there.

Actually what I was referring to are the popup windows
("Microsoft Antispyware Alerts") that come up when you log
in. However I did try to make the changes you suggested
but it's like they didn't take. It said it was successful
in a message box however in the table displayed no change
is made (and I get the same behavior on login). Seems like
maybe there's a permissions issue here, like as a user I
can't write to a reg. key to save the setting(s).

Another example is that my "My Documents" folder is
redirected to a network drive. This creates an alert as
well and I chose to accept it and the "Remember this
action" checkbox is checked. However, I get prompted about
this every time I log in.

I noticed something similar, the damn thing refuses to
keep the settings where it does not run the scan, update,
realtime is disabled, or not to connect to the community
it trys to do prettymuch all of them after a reboot
since it won't listen to me I uninstalled it, if I wanted
forced protection from the web i'd be on AOL
hope it gets fixed, it looks like something to add to my
plethera of anti spyware and anti virus checks to run
