Startup program requires approval, over and over and over

I run a free SSH client package called PuTTY. (Available
from
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ ). The
package includes an SSH authentication agent called
Pageant which will allow me to authenticate using
public/private keys. I have put Pageant in my Startup
folder so I don't have to manually run it every time I
log in.

After I installed AntiSpyware, the next time I logged in
I received a Windows AntiSpyware Notice window stating "A
startup program pageant.exe requires your approval."
Since I use this program all the time, I checked
the "Remember this action" box and clicked on the Allow
button. However, the Windows AntiSpyware Notice window
still pops up again every time I log in.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and been able to
fix or work around it?
 
I am running XP Home and my user account is setup as an administrator. I keep
getting this message as well so I don't think this is just a limited user
issue. Also, even though I get the notice to allow or block, the program that
it's warning me about goes ahead and runs anyway. I'm not sure what the point
of the notice is if it goes ahead and runs the application before I have a
chance to allow or block it.
