Hello,
I downloaded the beta microsoft antispyware program several weeks ago and I
have this program set for scheduled scans and this program is not running
it's scheduled scan and also this program cannot manually get it's updates,
because each time I try to update, it states, there is no connection.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the beta microsoft program a number of
times and I am still faced with the same problems with this program.
I installed the spybot search and destroy several months ago and this
program is continually missing framedyn.dll
I reinstalled the framedyn.dll and uninstalled and reinstalled this program
and still framedyn.dll is not found.
Also this program spybot serarch and destroy cannot get it's updates, every
update is a bad check sum.
I also tried pest patrol and this program is informing me of registry key
spywares and I remove those spywares and they continue to reappear.
Thank You,
