Problem with Microsoft Antispyware :-P

Hello :-)

The problem is that after having my HD wiped, once I'd reinstalled Microsoft
Antispyware and all my screensavers among other programs, now M.A. is
obnoxiously insisting on asking me for approval every time an .scr file tries
to run. Is there a way to get M.A. to approve all .scr files that are
presently in a particular folder without having to manually run and approve
each one? Would reinstalling M.A. work?
 
Actually, even though I haven't tried that myself I do think doing that would
help. You can also try digging around the GIANT application.

I think it is possible your current install of Microsoft Antispyware is
buggy.

If you want to try a reinstall, this is what I'd do:

1) uninstall Microsoft Antispyware
2) delete \program files\microsoft antispyware and all subfolders. You will
lose access to any quarantined items, custom settings, and history.
3) reinstall Microsoft Antispyware from a current version download , taking
care to be signed in as an administrator.
