Batch files with antispyware loaded

[Tony Hoyle]

It took me a while to find this.. didn't initially
attribute it to antispyware (thought it was a strange bug
in cmd.exe)

With antispyware loaded, if you execute a batch file in
cmd.exe it'll only ever work *once*. After that no batch
files will work at all.. they simply won't run.

eg: (must start with a new cmd.exe)

D:\>echo @echo batch file running >test.bat

D:\>test
batch file running

D:\>test

D:\>

The second (and all subsequent times) time the script did
*not* run. After this no batch files will run until the
cmd.exe is killed and restarted.

Antispyware also does not prompt for permission to run the
script at any point - presumably this works only from the
GUI (which IMO makes it a bit useless, but whatever...)

Have you tried deactivating script blocking?
Real time protection, application agents, scroll down to
script blocking, highlight it, click deactivate checkpoint.

Reactivate after running your script if you want it active
again.
