Anti Spyware won't minimize to systray

!st off I like the new Anti Spyware program. Have been
using it for a few weeks now. But one issue I have is that
it will not minimize to my systray. I made sure to have
the HIDE THE MICROSOFT AGENT FROM THE SYSTRAY box
unchecked under OPTIONS - SETTING. I also went to my HIDE
INACTIVE ICON section and made sure that the Spyware icon
is set to ALWAYS SHOW. Any help? If it isn't in the
systray is it working? What should I be looking for under
PROCESSES in the task manager?
 
I am facing the same problem. However, the processes you
want to look for in the task manager are:
giantantispywaremain, gcasserv, and gcasdtserv. You can
also find these when you open MAS B1 and go to advanced
tools --> system explorers --> running processes

GCASSERV and GCASDTSERV run when the program is not open
or showing on my taskbar. The other one
giantatispywaremain isn't an active process when the
program isn't open. Now the next question is does
giantantispywaremain do all the work or are the other two
processes the real brains behind the gig and doing all the
background scanning? Maybe I need to try making some
simple BHO changes, like downloading the yahoo or google
toolbar and see if I am prompted to accept or deny the
changes. Be back in a bit for an update.
 
Well just tried to run the install for Yahoo's toolbar and
got a notice from Antispyware wether or not to accept the
changes. So it seems like this is just a bug and that even
though it does not show in the systray it is in fact
working behind the scenes.
