If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options or just block its internet access on your firewall :). It is a small part of
my defence network(zone pro(spyware scan disabled), symantec antivirus, and
pest patrol and its related scanners resident with spybot and multi-av both
run from the command line in safe mode on a weekly basis). I have closed
MSRT's access to the internet, so I just get log entries when it is blocked,
this maybe the way to go if you are not comfortable hacking the registry.
