MSAS CONS

Need improvement on the interface, alot of issues,too
many shorcuts to deal with, maximize and minimizing issue
on certain are of MSAS like on the checkpoint agent page,
text being small, it still looks like sunbelt counterspy
and act like one too.

the uninstaller program for MSAS doesn't remove/clean
everything, it left 40 keys that belongs to MSAS. a lot
of it

no support on limited account. when switching user
account it thinks that the browser is being highjack when
both user has different homepage. MSAS won't remember the
setting when log in on limited account.

freezing/lockout tend to happen when updating definition

memory ussage on scanning still need improvements

delist/downgrade some spyware one of them is claria and
other that we don't know about. hope that we can see what
spyware is being detected on the future version of this
antispyware.

show me at least a indication like x on the system tray
icon when i disable MSAS. so people can remember to turn
it back on.

has a protection of its own so it cannot be shutdown by
malicous software.

it doesn't sort spyware that has been detected by
ratings. so expect all the spyware to be unorganize

with all the issue that MSAS has i still choose it as my
second antispyware solution.

Remember that this is still a beta 1 product that went into beta 21 days
after being purchased. I expect most if not all that you listed will be
fixed by beta 2 or RTW. As for the UI, we should expect it to adhere more to
Microsofts UI guidelines in the next beta.

Again, since its a beta, it is recommended you use third party AntiSpyware
utilities in conjunction with Microsoft AntiSpyware.

And it slows down Windows Explorer.
Example : In "My Computer" - When I double-click my C-
drive, it takes about 3 seconds to show it's content.
When I disable MSAS, it shows the content immediately.
