Multiple XP Users

I have a home PC with multiple usernames for the kids. I
have to log onto each user and run the app and find a lot
of the same spyware under each user. Anyway to run the
app once and get everything at once?
 
If this is an XP Home machine, you might try restarting in safe mode and
logging in as "administrator" and doing a full scan.

I'm not sure this will do the trick, though--this app is not fully
multi-user aware in the current build.
 
I don't have any information about that. About all I can say is that
Microsoft is aware of the issue and getting the feedback from these groups.
I don't know how much effort is involved in what such a change would
involve, and whether that's possible in this product release cycle.
 
As far as I can tell, you have to be logged on as an admistrator and set the
program to do a full system scan of all hard drives (on the Spyware Scan
Options screen). That will catch everyone's Documents and Settings folders
and registries. The quick scan appears to only check the folders and
registry of the currently logged-on user.

When you are logged on as Admin in safe mode, click on Scan Options > full
system scan and check all boxes.
