I would like to recommend that MSAS not only follow
the good example of NORTON tools, which use Windows
SCHEDULED TASKS utility, but also allow MSAS to be run
independently.
I like to schedule all my PC cleanup - antivirus, one
button cleanup, etc. - as an overnight set of tasks,
while the PC is in STANDBY or HIBERNATE and I am in sleep
mode myself. That way, when I arrive at my workstation,
it has been fully scrubbed clean, and ready for the
working world.
However, I find that MSAS doe NOT have an easily
modifiable timer function, and allows it o be run ONLY at
STARTUP, or at a specific time of day, when the user is
on the system.
Please change that, and follow Norton's example - let
it be assigned a scheduled run time, attached to a
specific user or sysadmin account, option it to WAKE the
PC, and run unattended, and independently of a logged in
user.
One question:
Does MSAS scan only the current user account for
spyware, or all user accounts on the PC - i.e. the entire
computer hard drive(s) ?
That might account for it's need to run only for the
loged on user, since it may not want to take
responsibility for other account users, not present to
monitor it's actions. Peerhaps, this could also be a
check box option for the sysadmin - to run systej wide,
or at user discretion.
Thanks
