Bug with installers

I have discovered that when attempting certain installs -
while the active-protection is running - the installations
will freeze at 99% - most of the time, never reaching 100%.

I have tested this on Macromedia Flash MX, Adobe Photoshop
7 and a few other applications. It seems the anti-spyware
application is scanning something with the installer - and
it causes it to hang and never completely run.
 
Ed - this might be a result of an incomplete install of Microsoft
Antispyware, rather than interference with the installer, per se.

Can you try:

Start, add or remove programs, Microsoft Antispyware, Change, Update.

See if that changes the behavior--try something with a quick install!

If not, try removing Microsoft Antispyware, and then reinstalling it.

Does Microsoft Antispyware otherwise seem to be complete and working in all
the aspects you've tried out?
 
Hi Ed,
OTOH, I chill my AV when installing. Perhaps this product will need that
also.
