Spyware is a cat and mouse game. As soon as we fix one problem, another one
is sure to follow. If you have a new piece of spyware, please help us create
new signatures by submitting a suspected spyware report. This is a very easy
task and allows us to make the product better with each signature release.

Steps to take if you have spyware that is not removed by Microsoft Windows
AntiSpyware (beta)
1) Open up AntiSpyware
2) Click Tools at the top
3) Click "Submit a Suspected Spyware Report"
4) Fill out the form with as much detail so we can analyze quickly

By doing these steps before trying something new, you make the product
better.

Thanks again for testing the beta!!!!

I tried to submit one but got the following error "An
error occurred submitting the scan results. Please check
you (sic) Internet proxy settings and try again." What
proxy settings to I need...is there an equivalent web
based form on your website?
 
I am unable to submit a report due to something about
incorrect proxy settings. I am able to access internet
for everything else and do not use a proxy. Must be
something wrong with the way Microsoft AntiSpyware
interprets my settings. Otherwise, I would send you 4
signatures MSAS is not able to identify or remove. Norton
catches them but it is not able remove them either.
 
I don't have a fix for the reporting issue, I'm afraid, unless your IE is
set to work offline. That setting will create this error message, but so
will other factors, unknown to me. I've got a machine with this symptom to
play with, and havent succeeded at finding a cure yet.

As to the infection--please restart in safe mode and run scans with both the
antivirus and Microsoft Antispyware in safe mode--press the F8 function key
before the initial Windows screen appears.
