Microsoft Aitispyware breaks MSN toolbar as spyware PCUser32 06-20-2005

Running XP pro, sp2
Just installed MSN toolbar
but after scheduled Microsoft Antispyware scan
it no longer works and neither does Internet Explorer
I managed to get IE working gain by un-installing the MSN
toolbar via the add remove control panel
Scan history shows something called 'Shopathome' as being
removed which I assume is necessary for MSN toolbar to
function.

I just find it strange that Microsoft's MSN toolbar is
spyware when Microsoft claims to be fighting against such
software..

anyone else have this experience

"Shopathome" has nothing to do with the MSN Toolbar and Desktop Search.
I run with Microsoft AntiSpyware with no problems.
