Limited Accounts and MSAS

[S]

If you are using a limited account and running MS Anti-
Spyware several functions don't work. You cannot receive
new updates, and it doesn't register that you have taken
any scans when you actually have. Also, repeatedly on
startup, it says X is trying to install, and when you say
remove, it just comes back next time. Not true for
administrative accounts. Anyone aware of this issue?

 

[Andre Da Costa]

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.

Not so much not being able to scan, but not being able to
update. I can click update, and everything appears to be
fine and dandy, but when I restart my computer, it rolls
it back to the previous version, and I have to download
these updates again. Also, MSAS does not recognize when I
do a scan, so it constantly thinks I am at risk for a
spyware infection.
