MS Anti-Spyware turning autostart off ?

[rainz]

Hello,

Simple question..
Is it possible to turn off the "autostart" of the MS Anti-Spyware when Windows boots? The program seems to be good but i dont want it always running in the background and it starts each times i boot. ( it's currently uninstalled ).

Thanks

Same here.

I also have reason to believe that MS Antispyware was responsible for messing up the sort order of files/folders in my open and save dialogues. I already have and use Ad-aware so I removed MS Antispyware before getting into too much troubleshooting with the "start with Windows" problem. It's a beta after all and an MS one at that... *gulp*

Spy ware

I am having a problem and I think our friend spy ware is the culprit. I use Verizon/Yahoo for my internet provider. When I try to check my email and then go back and look at internet temp. files it can be as many as 500+ files. If I go to the internet for a couple of minutes and get off and go to check on how many internet temp files are there it can be as many as 1,400 or more files. How can I turn spy ware off???:

umm go here & install microsoft windows defender, update it then run a full scan :smile:

Or get rid of windows & run Linux

Maybe they should just get training on pc's? Windows is perfectly fine, when you are running proper apps. Never had an issue with XP.

I was just trying to keep with the general direction of the topic

Remove all anti-spyware stuff, and use Firefox. And if you want to check and make sure, use hijackthis.de.
