Hi there
CounterSpy (v. ) and the latest Windows Antispyware Beta
(v. 1.0.614) don't seem to coexist very well. In
particular WAS can't detect my Internet connection. If I
uninstall CounterSpy, or if I revert to the earlier WAS,
all works OK. Has anyone detected a similar problem, and
discovered a workaround?
Best regards
Loane
 
Hi

MSAS and Counterspy are twins with exactly the same functions

Sunbelt bought a license from Giant, MS bought Giant so
these programs are equal.

Except that Counterspy also removes Claria................

So if you already paid for Counterspy, uninstall MSAS.
Or choose one of them.

Someone however here on the newsgorup posted an info, that this works OK
until the uninstall time: when goes to uninstall, then both apps should be
uninstalled together.

Hi Mikolaj

I have switched to Counterspy for a while beacuse of Claria
and why should a user install both of these identical apps ?

A lot about this within Counterspys FAQ.
http://www.sunbelt-software.com/CounterSpy-FAQ.cfm

Counterspy using MS definitions and their owns. :-)

And I now see a fully working app ! Also the "inculate" function which
is a
smart invention.

To make it clear with "switched", MSAS is uninstalled until
Mr Ballmer has sort out this mess out about Claria and
trustworthy computing.

Hi plun,

And how you will now provide support, without MSAS installed? ;-P

That's a shame on you that you have decided to make an "organized withdrawal
to the predetermined positions" in the face of such small, inconvenient
enemy as Claria or MSAS bugs ;-P

Back to the positions and keep the lines, lieutenant ;-D

No this was enough after some discussions with other users
with high principles about this.

I am deserting and goes behind enemy lines......... :')

The Judge: "plun, you are charged with desertion..
In the name of her Majesty, you will be taken from this court and hung
(right in the middle of countless spyware threats), drawn (by adware
temptations) and quartered (by malware applications)..
What are your last words, accused ?"

Hi Mikolaj

Well, I do believe that the General for this
operation is not trustworthy so I join the
group with Donna (probably not an MVP next year)
Eric L Howes and all other users within spyware
communitys which really believes this is sick.

Probably also the MSAS team dislikes this order
from General Ballmer...............

plun,

Why not wait until you see what developes? It isn't a done deal and
you would be missed here.

Hi plun,

Listen to reason :)

Besides - MSAS is still in the proces of developement. I know, that everyone
wants to have the system protected, but this can be achieved using MSAS plus
few others anti-tank ;-) apps. And keeping with the MSAS, I hope, serves to
make this app good not only for you or me, but to all those millions who
downloaded it.. It's up to you, of course :-)
But I'll keep the line :-)
 
That function was part of the Giant product. I suspect there are good
reasons for removing it.

I have the same problem as you describe with Counterspy.
I have not found however a workaround.

My understanding is that an update install of Microsoft Antispyware should
fix issues in that app. subsequent to installing CounterSpy. I don't know
about issues upon uninstall.
