I have been using the microsoft antispyware beta (along with other spyware
detectors) to clean up a load of spyware. I tried to send a spyware report
but got a message
"an error occurred check internet proxy settings"

I'm not sure what to do. Can anyone help.
 
Hi Toni,

Dont worry:

See Bill's reply in thread "Spyware....it keeps coming back !" in the
microsoft.private.security.spyware.announcements forum dated 11/28/2005 as

In case you can't find the message Engel referred to: This message is due
to a bug in the beta1 product. There's no known workaround,
unfortunately--so don't try to find a fix--I haven't, on the few machines I
have that show this symptom. The feedback mechanism in beta2 will be more
robust, I'm sure.
 
I'm not optimistic for the machines on which this report fails. It does
that on 2 out of about 48 machines I work with--so it isn't universal, fwiw.

This won't get fixed in beta1. Beta2 may have its own bugs, but I don't
believe it will have any left from beta1.
