835239 2009-12-01 05:52:00 So how do you disable it? Driftwood (5551)
835240 2009-12-01 06:02:00 Goto start/run, type regedit. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\SpyNet. Right mouse on spynet first / permissions, highlight your username / advanced / owner tab. Highlight your username , tick replace owner on subcontainers, and objects. Then tick OK, then OK Then in the right column double click on spynetreporting change it to 0. You'll know its disabled, if you open MSE and go to the settings tab / MS Spynet option. Neither option will be selected Speedy Gonzales (78)
