Yeah, ms security is good, best to be up to date. It's not horribly
accessible for me though, perhaps I'm doing something wrong. Always
check where the root file is, false positives, ugh. that was a very
useful and informative message, was it not?

Definition updates not only spot more malware but improve the
elimination of false positives. Why everyone isn't running microsoft
security essentials as their primary realtime and full scanner is
totally beyoud me. Its free it is updated it is about as effective as
anything else and is improving. It is easily configured and works
great with windoweyes or and of course its free and it has a huge
database of users to get samples from.

It's an ooooold version of Ad-Aware SE, which I doubt anyone in the
free world even remembers. Definitions are not even supported, but I
keep it to remove MRU's on occasion. Sometimes doing that seems to
unstick a sluggish computer. Last night was the first time I'd run
Ad-Aware since upgrading to WE 7X, and the first time I'd ever had a
problem of this kind. Just too coincidental to let that go
unmentioned. If this old, broken-down spyware remover can break WE,
maybe others can as well. <shrug>. I figured that people may be able
to correlate a recent spyware removal with a particular Window-Eyes
ap suddenly giving them grief.
Remember, people. Some of the anti-virus programs have the ability to
remove spyware, and, they can be configured to do that during a virus
scan. Just a thought. I think it's significant that some people are
receiving errors that others aren't experiencing on a given WE ap,
especially when some users have mentioned errors containing the text
shared object not found.

Sorry you had that problem.
What spy ware removal did you use?
I use malware bytes and spybot and neither one bothers we apps.
Might be a good idea to let us know the name of the spy remover you
have.
