Before you install AntiSpyware, use these suggestions to
prepare your computer:
If you have any other anti-spyware programs on your
computer, you should uninstall them and restart your
computer before installing Microsoft AntiSpyware. Although
removing other anti-spyware programs is not necessary it
is recommend because it is possible that Microsoft
AntiSpyware could detect spyware that has already been
quarantined by another anti-spyware program if the other
program has not secured its quarantined files.
To uninstall other anti-spyware programs, see the user
documentation that came with the program.
Close all other Windows programs before installing
Microsoft AntiSpyware, including those programs displayed
in the Windows tray.
Completing Installation
If your computer must be restarted to complete
installation, a dialog box appears that gives you the
option to restart immediately or wait for a more
convenient time. After restarting or, if your computer
does not need to be restarted, the Setup Assistant
appears. The Setup Assistant guides you through the steps
to activate Microsoft AntiSpyware. During this process,
you setup the automatic update features, enable System
Agents for real-time protection, decide if you want to
participate in the SpyNet Anti-Spyware Community, and run
your first spyware scan.
