Repeating alert pop up windows

When real time protection is enabled. I occasionally get a
pop up window which requires user input to 'block' or
'allow' (for example, browser toolbar or a homepage
change). Trouble is, after switching the computer off and
on again they repeat themselves - every time! Even though I
give the same input each time it just goes on asking for
approval. In fact there's about six boxes pop up one behind
the other and there's no chance of reading them all. Some
are for information - some require user input. How can I
stop this?

WinXP SP2, SpywareGuard, SpywareBlaster, MS ASpyware
 
I can't believe I'm the only one experiencing this!
Anybody else have the same or could this be a bad install
or maybe a clash with SpywareGuard?
Any suggestions?

Does it happen on limited user account (non-administrative one)? If so -
this is common problem and should be fixed in Beta 2 (that's expected).
 
Thanks for the quick reply. None of the four accounts are
limited. I have only logged on to two of them so far and it
happens on both. Any timetable for beta2?

Unfortunatelly no.. :(
 
It happens on all accounts.
As I indicated the windows are the usual MS Antispyware
alert windows. Some are green, telling me that an action
has been allowed based on my previous responses, (these
roll up and then down again, and I guess these are just for
information). Some are blue and won't budge until I either
'Block' or 'Allow'. The same alerts come up time after time
after time.
For example, one is to allow a program called CalenderPal
to run at startup and I think another is to allow the
latest Google toolbar to be installed.
