Limited Account support please 5

[MSAS Fan]

i the past 4 motns i've been wondering if this MSAS will
actually protect window user with limited account and if
it will support limited account at all. standalone
antispyware product doesn't seem to work under limited
account specially real-time protection like spysweeper
3.5 but they have message to user that it might suport it
on the future version, I don't know if its version 4.0,
webroot might release spysweeper 4.0 after this month i
think.

Read the newsgroups, this is a known issue that will be resolved in beta 2:

From Steve Dodson:
You have a limited user account running the application looking for spyware
on all files and folders. This includes the administrator account which
limited users may not be able to access. So we have to approach this
carefully in order to remove the spyware from all locations, but also
preserve file and folder permissions and access.

In short, we are addressing this for a future release, but it involves some
major coding and testing.

Meanwhile, one can do the full scan using a "runas"
command, if it is an administrator operating out of a
limited account (for example an administrator using a
limited account for Internet access to avoid system-wide
changes due to malware).

About Beta 2 correcting the bug: If scanning is done from
a limited account without "runas" being used, and there is
an "Access Violation", skip the violating scan. Someone
with Administrators likely already scanned that anyway.

If a user gets some spyware, it would be in the user
space, not the administrator or power-user space. What
need would there be to scan those more-privileged areas
from a limited user account?

yes I am aware of RunAS command

I'm talking about how the real-time protection will work
under limited account.
