Hi

Have you also right-clicked the MS-Antispyware icon in the System Tray and selected 'Shutdown MS Antispyware', then tried to install Folder Lock?

Good luck

also this:

im getting the worst crash ever ,on a 6mth old dell dim 8400, recycling
on-to off, after a blue screen, I believe it was from an install of
Folder lock and folder guard, I uninstalled both,but they had some
legacy files that corrupted my MBR, fortunatly I had symantec recovery
cd, was able to recover MBR

this is error:
?THE SYSTEM HAS RECOVERED FROM A SERIOUS ERROR? I made screen shots of
the numbers

Hi again

Have you also tried uninstalling MS-Antispyware, then trying to install Folder Lock/Guard? Then reinstall the antispyware prog?

Also, don't forget that the MS program is a beta version. MS have set up a newsgroup here:

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

However, because the entire site is being remodelled the search function does not work. You will have to go through the posts one by one and see if anyone else has posted anything about Folder Lock/Guard.

With regard to your machine crashing, there may be other reasons for it. Run a few tests to make sure the OS is OK, run Windows Update, check for viruses and use other spyware/adware programs in conjunction with your copy of MS-Antispyware.

Good luck
