BUG - Anti-Spyware blocks Active Directory GPOs

[MMMMM]

We have applied a Group Policy Object in Active Directory to set users'
homepages to a company intranet site, but Anti-Spyware allows the user to
prevent this from happening, defeating the purpose of Group Policy. Hmmm...

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892375 End users may be prompted to allow or
block administrative actions that originate from a central management tool
after they install Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) on a computer that is managed
by Systems Management Server 2003

Known issue. Microsoft has now announced that there will be a free consumer
version of Microsoft Antispyware, and one which has a cost associated for
managed environments.
