Windows AntiSpyware is suddenly blocking my batch file!

[M Skabialka]

I have a small batch files that copies certain files from my C drive to
another drive daily for backup purposes. I change the batch file command
monthly because I save files named by months.

c:
cd "C:\Documents and Settings\myself\My Documents\Word\DailyLogs"
Copy May06.doc G:\Backup\Word\DailyLogs\May06.docBCK



However, when I changed it this month for May and tried to run it, Windows
AntiSpyware will no longer allow this batch file to run. I get a popup
notice that "A script requires your approval", I check Allow, and Remember
this action, but another identical Window pops up, over and over so my batch
will not work. In fact I use a few batches for some simple tasks and they
are now all blocked.



I can't find anywhere in the Windows AntiSpyware program where I can allow
this to run, there does not seem to be a list of blocked events. Under
Tools, Realtime protection there is an option to view all blocked events,
but there are none.



This batch has worked for seven or eight years, and I have had Windows
AntiSpyware installed since it first came out. My Windows updates were
installed yesterday, nothing else is new. Windows XP Pro.



How do I fix this problem?

Thanks,

Mich

I have solved the problem by replacing Microsoft AntiSpyware with Microsoft
Defender.
