'Warning: Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware has encountered a critical error (Error 101). Please restart Windows AntiSpyware and run the program again. If you continue to experience this problem, please uninstall the program and install the most recent version of Windows AntiSpyware. You can use Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel to uninstall this version of Windows AntiSpyware.'
You can repair Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) using Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. Click Microsoft AntiSpyware and click Change. Click Next, and then click Update.
If you see the critical error message again, uninstall Windows AntiSpyware and reinstall it. To do this, use Add or Remove Programs in the Windows Control Panel. Click Microsoft AntiSpyware and click Remove. You can reinstall Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) from the beta download page.
The spyware scan removes sites added to Restricted Sites security zone in Internet Explorer. If you have added Web sites to the Restricted Sites security zone to prevent access to them, we recommend you make a backup copy of the site list before running Windows AntiSpyware (Beta).
Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) may prompt you to remove some peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs. If you choose to remove such a program, Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) deletes the entire contents of the Program Files directory that relates to the P2P program. Because some P2P programs store downloaded files in a default directory under Program Files, this might remove all files downloaded through the file-sharing program. For example, KaZaA stores .exe and .dll files at C:Program FilesKazaa. Downloaded files are stored at C:Program FilesKazaaMy Shared Folder. If you use Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) to remove KaZaA, all files and folders under C:Program FilesKazaa are removed. If you have installed any P2P file sharing programs, we recommend that you make a backup copy of your downloaded files before running Windows AntiSpyware (Beta).
You do not need to uninstall other anti-spyware or antivirus programs to run Windows AntiSpyware (Beta). Other programs or Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) may prompt you to allow or block an action, but there are no other known incompatibilities with other anti-spyware or antivirus programs.
