Had to uninstall GMail Notifier because it appeared to
turn off MS AS. A possible security issue?
 
What was the behavior when you installed the notifier? Can you provide more
information?

Hi Anthony,
I've been running both here without a hitch. FWIW, I had the GMail notifier
running before MWAS.

I just discovered Gmail notifier running on a machine I administer. I
believe in this case Microsoft Antispyware preceded Gmail notifier. Nobody
has complained, and I didn't notice any problem.

There are a number of viruses which attempt to disable Microsoft
Antispyware.

When either an antispyware or an antivirus application is apparently
disabled, I'd recommend a full scan with current definitions by an antivirus
application as part of the troubleshooting.
 
When I installed Gmail Notifier the MSAS icon disappeared
from the system tray near the clock so I assumed that
MSAS wasn't running. On restart the MSAS icon didn't
reappear in the system tray so it wasn't loaded at
startup. When Gmail Notifier was uninstalled and the
computer restarted the MSAS icon appeared in the system
tray. So it was Gmail Notifier that was causing the
problem. I've tried installing Gmail Notifier again with
the same result.
