Hello,
I have two Xbox media center extenders in my home and use
my MCE PC as a desktop PC. The problem that I am running
into with AntiSpyware is that when it is running my
extenders have a 90% chance of not connecting because of
a system validation error listed below from my PC logs.

"Remote Media Center session was logged off because
system validation failed.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp."

Any workarounds to this, as I really like this software
but at this point in time I will be unable to use it on
my home PC. I do run this program at work and on my
laptop and have had no issues with it up until installing
it on MCE.

Incompatibility with Windows Media Center Extender
There is a known incompatibility between Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) and
Windows Media Center Extender. If you install Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) on
a computer running Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, Windows Media
Center Extender will not be able to establish a remote connection. Read the
related Microsoft Help and Support article to get more information about
this issue.

And here's the KB article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892374 Windows Media Center Extender cannot
establish a remote connection after you install Windows AntiSpyware (Beta)
on a computer that is running Windows Media Center Edition 2005

This one is not fixed in either build distributed so far. Check the release
notes for future builds.
 
its a known issue, i know it really suck that microsoft
haven't fix extender issue on the updated refresh
version, this is the reason i don't have MSAS Beta 1
installed on my computer, just wait for the beta 2 and
pray that it will work with mce 2005 extender and limited
account.

workaround: shutdwon Microsoft Antispyware when using
extender
