I just recently installed the MS Antispyware beta 1.
When I log on my computer i always get a popup from this
program that says something to the effect" antspyware has
blocked shell32.dll file c:\windows\system32
\shell32.dll " What is this and what sould I do? Is it
something bad or is the ms antispyware program just doing
its job. Please answer in simple terms cuz I'm a
rookie. Thanks
