Windows Anti-Spyware - suppress normal messages? Nigel Andrews 07-13-2005

I would like to suppress the normal messages, those which say the automatic
scan found no spyware threats. Even those saying that the Anti-Spyware has
been automatically updated.
Obvviously I need to see if it does find a threat.
I realise that there are command line options for when running a scan
manually.

In other such products I don't get an alert until there is a problem, which
is how I like it.

You should post your question in one of the newsgroups specifically set
up for this beta product since that is where MS will be monitoring user
issues (I don't have an answer for you or I would have posted it).
Here's the information about that:

At this time, support for the beta version of Microsoft Windows
AntiSpyware is being provided through the following Microsoft
newsgroups:

- microsoft.private.security.spyware.announcements
- microsoft.private.security.spyware.appcompat
- microsoft.private.security.spyware.general
- microsoft.private.security.spyware.install
- microsoft.private.security.spyware.networking
- microsoft.private.security.spyware.signatures
- microsoft.private.security.spyware.onlinecommunity

These newsgroups can be accessed via NNTP or HTTP. To access these
newsgroups using HTTP, please go to the following location:

http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?ICP=spyware&sLCID=us

To access these newsgroups using NNTP, please use the following
information for your NNTP client (such as Microsoft Outlook Express):

- NNTP Server: privatenews.microsoft.com
- Account name: privatenews\spyware
- Password: spyware

NOTE: No password will be required via the HTTP link.
