MS Anti-Spyware Beta. Multi-User Win XP PC.

[Guest]

Hi.
Hope this is the right place. Couldn't find a Group for "MS Anti-Spyware
Beta".

Win XP PC with 4 Users:- Tina (Administrator), Chris, Gemma, Meghan.
Downloaded and Installed MS Anti-Spyware Beta OK.
Runs OK. Finds and removes threats OK.

In order to completely "Clean" the PC, do I need to Run a Scan under each
User? From my testing, I think the answe is YES.

In other words, if I run a Scan under Administrator, does it Scan and
"Clean" all the other User's Files? From my testing, I think the answer is NO.

We currently use:
Norton Internet Security (2005)
Lavasoft's Adaware SE Personal
Microsoft Anti-Spyware Beta.

Same question applies to NIS 2005 and to Adaware, please.

Thank you, in advance, for the answers.
