IExplorer problem when Antispyware is installed.

[a tester of Antispyware]

I installed the Antispyware beta when it was announced.
After a while I relised that I had problems with IE.
First time I tired to start the IE, nothing happened - a
process was started, but no window exposed. At a second
start IE was displaued and could be used. Furthermore it
often became a problem to start from a link i a mail.
After a while I made a rollback, to a previous restore
point, which solved the problem. At that time I did not
suspected Antispyware. Having recovered all my
intermediate installations, I wanted to reinstall the
Antispyware product. As soon as I installed Antispyware
again, I see the same symptons as explained above. I
uninstalled Antispyware, and the symptons disappeared.

I seems like there is a problem with the current version
of Antispyware. I am not able to give a more detailed
description, but can send further information if I get
information on how to get it.

Regards
A tester.

I suspect you have an infection and AntiSpy is only taking
out part of the infection.

Get HijackThis.exe from
http://tomcoyote.org/hjt/hjt199//HijackThis.exe

Scan and Save Log and note where you save it. Then send
it to me as an attachment.

This may be one of those cases where a repair of IE may be of assistance. I
certainly would not immediately assume spyware:
