Microsoft Anti Spyware

[Blues]

Well Im not sure your thoughts on them making one but I have encountered some problems with this at work. I don't know who has installed this on the machines on the network at work but it will use 70+ percent of CPU usage which is far more then anything should use. I unistalled this after researching it a bit to find out what it was becuase I only knew at first of the file listed in running processes. So what are your thoughts and so on.

Well Microsoft Anti-Spyware isn't quite so good anyway, not to mention outdated as Microsoft already has another version called Windows Defender (which isn't very effective either). Dunno, I used to MS AS and it barely ever used up a lot of resources but like any other protection program it can sometimes use up a lot of CPU for unknown reasons. I think you did a good thing by uninstalling it.

Well considering it is thier work machine and they can't work as fast with it removing it is good. I forgot they had a new name for thier anti spyware as I don't use anything Microsoft makes but Office and Windows. I trust them about as much as they trust thier software to not be pirated. The issue with CPU usage primarly occured with Outlook open and IE and most these people leave Outlook open all day and usualy some IE window that they probly aren't even to be on as its probly not work related.
