Notices do not go away

[Guest]

All my limited user accounts get notices each time they log onto the machine.
They come up with each login even though you press 'Allow'. The notices do
not appear on my built-in administrator account.

I originally installed antispyware from an account that I have converted
into a limited user account. I suppose that antispyware is having trouble
writing into some file or the registry.

Can anyone help?

TIA.

Peter, What you are describing is very familiar to anyone using MSAS with
multiple users and a mix of limited and Admin accounts.You can call it a bug
or an anomally but you have to remember it is still a Beta and these problems
are being worked on. Regardless of these minor bugs you still have a higher
level of protection by virtue of the Real Time Protection function which
makes having MSAS worthwile just for that.

I posted this question in General Discussion, but I have not been responded
to. I had a this file inbedded in my computer before I removed it with MSAP
today.
C:\WINDOWS\svchost.exe
I downloaded MSAP today, and set it up just as they recommended. I did a
quick scan and a full scan, and now there are no infections appearing.
The problem is with the Real-Time Blocker. Now it displays on my screen
telling me it is blocking the very trojan spyware that it deleted, and DOES
IT ABOUT EVERY 5 SECONDS. I can't see half my screen witht this thing popping
up and staying up sometimes for 10-15 seconds each time, and then quickly
reappearing. I don't want to disable the Real Time function-I just want to
hide it, so I can read my screen fully.
Also, since this file has been removed, why is it trying to get back in? Or,
why is it picking on my computer? I have reset my modem, cleared my tracks,
refreshed IE, and every other thing I know how to do.
I hope I don't have to disable Real Time Blocker, but I can't function with
the Notices popping up all the time.
HELP!!!

Your system is not clean yet--some other program or service is still
running, and is attempting to reinstate the infected file. Microsoft
Antispyware has done a partial cleaning, but not gotten to the root of the
issue.

If this is still happening to you:

1) update Microsoft Antispyware and your antivirus.
2) restart Windows in safe mode by pressing the f8 function key before the
first Windows screen appears when rebooting.
3) scan with both Microsoft Antispyware (full, deep scan) and your antivirus
until a complete scan comes through clean with each.

If this does not remove the symptoms--you need more help. Other
products--such as a trial download of Ewido, may be helpful, likewise
Rootkit detectors such as Sysinternal's RootkitRevealer, or F-secure's beta
Blacklight.

Additionally you can call Microsoft Product Support services for free help
with virus removal issues--in the U.S. or Canada 1-866-pcsafety. Elsewhere
in the world, call your local subsidiary or number for paid support, and ask
for the free help with virus or security patch related issues.

Thanks Bill. On my last post I noted that I have gotten it completely clean
since I originally posted my question, thanks to Engel. I have run several
deep scans by both MSAS, Norton, and The Cleaner (similiar to Ewido). I do
believe I've finally gotten them all deleted or quaranteened. The notice no
longer pops up, either. My MSAS scans every morning, and reports no
infections, and several deep scans by Norton Symatec (where the trojan showed
up, but could not be deleted by Norton) revealed no infections of any kind.
Thanks to all!
Barry
