Doesn't work well with limited accounts under XP Home

I installed MS AntiSpyware on our home machine last
night. Now my kids get popups telling them that the IE
homepages is being changed (quite legitimately, as they
have different homepages than me), and IE toolbars being
blocked etc.

I'd rather have the option of not worrying limited users
about stuff like this and just blocking most of it with a
log entry sent to me as administrator.

Of course stuff like the IE homepage shouldn't be
blocked - it's MS code that's doing this and as I said
above, isn't it valid for each user of the machine to
have a different homepage?

Not impressed!

Yep--this feature doesn't work in your scenario, and Microsoft is well aware
of it.

You can turn off the Application checkpoint (Internet Explorer URL) which
gives these alerts. If you do so, you won't be protected against such
changes, of course.
