I am bugged by those damned green windows that pop up to
tell me, for the 115th time, that I have changed my
browser startup window to Google from Netscape. I don't
appreciate that MS Antispyware thinks it is just fine for
AOL Instant Messenger to be installed in my startup
registry ("An application change has been allowed") after
I had run MSCONFIG specifically to select it out.

Isn't this programming sophisticated enough to realize it
has already informed me (IN GREEN) enough times about my
purposeful choice to make Google my startup page??

Anger over bugs in a beta application is kind of silly. It's really not
difficult to uninstall.

gave up running MSAS, and system is leaner
disabled a number of features used by AV, and everything seems faster (Avast)

best to use common sense to keep spyware out
 
Yes I agree- those bloody windows seem not to take on
board permanently that U are OK with a particular item.
Even worse is a red one for Comet Cursors which comes up
every time I boot up. I say clean it and it confirms it
has cleaned it. Then it does it all again next time I boot!
Curiously if I run the program ahead of the window popping
up it fails to detect Comet at all!

I would welcome a way of seeing what actually within my
file structure or registry triggered the window. I might
then be able to remove the cause.
 
Thats one of the benefits of running a product that is clearly "Beta", you
get frustrated. Lets just hop it gets better in beta 2, and if its giving
you a headache, just uninstall it and try back again during beta 2.
 
This is good feedback - I agree that we are mighty chatty about items which
cannot be acted upon anyways. I have made that opinion known to the dev team
as well.
