why sometimes the realtime protection is disabled when I
check in context menu of system tray icon? But if I open
the program it says real time is on.
.
That behavior is typical if you ever shutdown MSAS
from tray without restarting it and then reboot. GIANTAntiSpywareMain.exe actually checks preferences
when it starts and sees that Agents aren't running so
it starts them up.
The background programs that start at bootup seem to
check a registry key, (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GIANTCompany\AntiSpyware),
for whether ServState is 1 to start agents or zero to
not start them. But when you close MSAS by selecting
Shutdown MSAS from the tray icon MSAS sets that key
to zero. So when you reboot, MSAS sees the zero and
doesn't run the agents, but when you start
GIANTAntiSpywareMain.exe it notes your preference and
starts the agents up.
I'm hoping that Microsoft decides this is a bug and
fixes it. I don't know if you shutdown MSAS at any time.
If you do, then not closing by the tray icon should fix
the problem. Killing the process in Task Manager stops
MSAS before it can set that registry value to 0.
