Vista blocks SuperAntiSpyware during startup

I'm having a problem where Vista is blocking SuperAntiSpyware during

startup. I've tried ticking the "run as admin" box in the EXE's properties,

but no joy. The only way to stop the blocking is to disable UAC. How can I

reclassify SAS so Vista will allow it to startup?

SuperAntiSpyware is not designed for Windows Vista. It is trying to run a

process as an administrator during logon. That is against the design

guidelines and is what is causing the OS to block the software. The only

simple way to get around that would be to disable some of the fundamental

security features of the operating system.

I'd recommend using software that is designed for Windows Vista instead.

Windows Defender, which is a free anti-spyware program, is built in, and is

quite decent. AVG has a free package that is good:

http://www.grisoft.com/ww.product-avg-anti...us-free-edition. Trend Micro's

software is also usually highly rated (http://www.trendmicro.com).

Ask the developer to fix his obviously broken software.

The effectiveness of an individual A-S scanners can be wide-ranging and

oftentimes a collection of scanners is best. There isn't one software that

cleans and immunizes you against everything. That's why you need multiple

products to do the job i.e. overlap their coverage - one may catch what

another may miss, (grab'em all).

I am aware that disabling UAC stops the problem, but obviously that's not

ideal. What's odd about it is I had SAS installed on Vista (with SP1) and

didn't have this issue. Recently I had to do a clean install of Vista and

when I got around to reinstalling SAS this problem appeared. The folks who

support SAS are working on it - I will pass your explanation along and see

what they think.

I'm happy to say that the SuperAntiSpyware team have sorted out this

problem. It was resolved by updating code in the EXE that tells Vista NOT

to run SAS "as administrator" during startup.

SAS 4.1.1038 (the version I tested) appears to be available for download now

in the SUPERAntiSpyware 4.1 Pre-Release forum which is here:

http://forums.superantispyware.com/

Since it's a "pre-release" you just need to join the forum (create an

account) and then request to download the PR and they send you a link. It

seems perfectly stable, but I don't know when they plan to release the

"final".

OK, Thanks and I think I'll wait on the final. I really don't mind a few

extra clicks of the mouse when I start Windows.
