I don't know what more to suggest. I know that all users of Tablet PC's
seem to see something which is described similarly.
In addition, users of machines running some versions of VNC and with active
host sessions--i.e. clients looking at the machine Microsoft Antispyware is
running on--also see a similar appearance. I should have remembered that
one in the earlier reply.
If none of these apply to your case, I'm not sure where to point you. VNC,
of course, has various video and other hooks--not sure just where the issue
is.
One thing you could try would be turning off all real- time protection via
the "workaround" para in this KB article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892375 End users may be prompted to allow or
block administrative actions that originate from a central management tool
after they install Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) on a computer that is managed
by Systems Management Server 2003
It'd be interesting to see if turning off real-time protection via the
registry change (and reboot??) in that article does the job.
Since this symptom is seen fairly easily, I assume that the developers have
a handle on it and that we won't see it in beta2--but that doesn't help you
much at the moment.

Bill,
Thanks. Good idea. I just completed shutting some
services, rebooting and testing; then shutting down
another set of services, rebooting and testing.
The problems remain: 1)lots of bulls eyes and 2) very
slow startup - very slow.

This sounds like an app compatibility issue of some
sort. If I were seeing
this, and had the time, I'd pull up msconfig, and do a
binary search
through the startup items--i.e. take all the non-
microsoft items and x out
half of them and observe. If the behavior doesnt
change, unmark those, and
mark the other half--and try to see if you can spot the
driver or other
startup software that is causing the behavior.

Is the machine in question a Tablet PC?

Yes Steve:
The strange behaviours are always repeatable.
1A) At boot 24+ bulls eye icons are on the system
tool
tray; the time is pushed far off to the right.
Simply
passing the cursor over the icons will cause all but
one
to extinguish.
1B) Open word -- 6 more bulls eye icons appear in the
system tool tray; an again simply passing the cursor
over
the icons will cause all but one to extinguish. Open
Internet Explorer, 2 additional bulls eye icons
appear;
2005 System Works 2005 is 3, Outlook 6 Express is 2,
WinFAX Pro is 0, MSN messenger 6 is 4, Nero Smart
Start
is 3, Windows Explorer is 3, etc.
2) Launch Speed for all applications is 3-4 times as
long
to start. I can measure exact times if needed.

Can you give me an exact repro to make more icons re-
appear? We are aware of
the issue, but all we have so far is " I just let it
sit
and over time more
appear." We need a report like "Every time I run a
Spyware Scan with
AntiSpyware, I get more icons."

I have some strange behaviour with build 614.
#1) Everytime a program, like Word, opens many
extra
(6
or 7) AntiSpyWare icons pop up on the Tool Tray.
If
I
just sweep the cursor over most of the extra icons
disappear! Annyong!
#2) Internet Explorer is much slower to launch with
any
version of AntiSpyWare.
==Environment, XP Pro SP2 current; the above
behaviour
occurs on 10% of my Client PCs.
Thanks. /Howard
