Not Compatible with Fast User Switching

G

Gaucho93

Fast User Switching, a feature of Windows XP Home Edition
and Windows XP Professional when it is not joined to a
domain, makes it possible for you to quickly switch
between users without actually logging off from the
computer. Multiple users can share a computer and use it
simultaneously, switching back and forth without closing
the programs they are running.

Microsoft AntiSpyware setting options and scan schedules
are not saved within a user profile. The settings are set
for the machine. Multiple users cannot have separate
settings. The worst part is that the scan will run for
all users for the computer at one scheduled time. My scan
takes over 90 minutes because the scan runs for two users
and competes for computer resources. The scans always
produce a Windows Warning that the system is low on
resources. My computer is a P4 with 1 GB of memory.

Thanks for the report. Microsoft is aware of this limitation in the beta
code, and we should see some change as the beta progresses.
