Hello Rick,
I will try this:
Remember, (installing and updateting or unistalling) always as a administrator
Use System Restore to Undo Changes if Problems Occur
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/systemrestore.mspx
Donwload and Install, Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435) is available
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893803
D/L and install Ccleaner ( Slim version) -
http://www.ccleaner.com/downloadbuilds.asp
http://www.ccleaner.com
http://forum.ccleaner.com/index.php?showtopic=1504
Note, uncheck Yahoos toolbar during install.
Open Ccleaner and start the cleaning, press "Windows" "Aplications" and "Run
Cleaner" from the menu choose 'Issues' and then press scan for issues, Repair
any fºund.
D/L and install Beta 1
From
http://www.filehippo.com Beta 1
http://www.filehippo.com/download/88f7471049179318fa98d78e1df25a33/download/
Is pretty risky getting a Microsoft file except directly from the
source--but in an emergency....
Rebot
REMOVING BETA 1
Whatever you do, (installing and updateting or unistalling) always as a
administrator.
This needs to be run in safe mode.
Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. Click Microsoft AntiSpyware and
click Change. Click Next, and then click Remove.
In Windows Programs files, delete all the sub-directorys and the folder MSAS.
Delete in Windows\system 32 :
GcColetion.dll
Hashlib.dll
GcUnCompress.dll
GcTypLibA.tbl
GcAntiSpywareLib.dll
GcUserData.gcg
Also, delete in Windows\Downloaded Installations, any reference about MSAS.
You can use Ccleaner (Twice)
Run the above remover in safe mode Ccleaner on all 3 settings(windows,apps &
issues) and clear anything found reboot and see if it still exists.

Look for the broom Clean up, also Tune Up..
Done.
Rebot
WINDOWS DEFENDER BETA 2.
I'd recommend re-downloading, and saving to a known location--like the
desktop.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...e7-da2b-4a6a-afa4-f7f14e605a0d&DisplayLang=en
After the download is complete, disable real-time protection by your
antivirus for long enough to do the installation. This may be worth trying in
your case.
For the benefit of the community reading this post, please rate the pºsts.
I hope this post is helpful.
Let us know how it works ºut.
