Icon on system tray re-appear

[splintor]

In Options->Settings->General I checked the "Hide
Microsoft AntiSpyware icon on the system tray" checkbox,
and indeed, when I reatrted AntiSpyware, the icon does not
appear on the system tray, but at night, when the
scheduled scan runs, the icon re-appears in the tray, and
I must restart AntiSpyware to hide the icon.

Is this a known bug?

What can be done?

There is a bug with the hiding og the MSAS Icon.

If you are running Windows XP I would use the taskbar properties to hide the
icon. Right click an empty spot on the task bar, click properties > under
Nortification Area > click "Customize" > select "Microsoft AntiSpyware -
Active" click in the "Behavior" and choose "Always Hide" > click OK > OK.
Best work around for the time being. Lets hope it gets resolved for beta 2.

This is a known bug--which you've described well.

I'm afraid I have no workaround for it--you can shut down and restart the
program and the icon will go away, but only until the next scheduled scan.

I would expect this to be fixed in beta2, but don't have any clear way of
knowing that for sure.
