i've done everything did a up to date window patch,
firewall, antivirus, antispyware recently, limited
account

why did my limited account get infected with adware? i
thought limited account can't install anything?

This is why MSAS need a multiple user account and limited
account support, now i know that you can get infected no
matter what user account your using like limited account.
 
Its possible you got infected through the Administrator account where it got
full rights to do its dirty deed throughout the entire system, even limited
accounts.

Limited account scannin will be supported by beta 2, don't worry.

From Steve Dodson:
You have a limited user account running the application looking for spyware
on all files and folders. This includes the administrator account which
limited users may not be able to access. So we have to approach this
carefully in order to remove the spyware from all locations, but also
preserve file and folder permissions and access.

In short, we are addressing this for a future release, but it involves some
major coding and testing.
 
I never surf the internet with the administrator account.
the only time i use the internet is when i update my
antivirus definition, update window, antispyware. that's
all i do on the administrator account, nothing else.
