We have an application that installs a third party driver which requires a
reboot after installation (yes, even on XP). When the user has agreed to
install the driver (and the required reboot), we set up the RunOnce registry
key to restart our application after reboot. Once the RunOnce key has been
set up, Microsoft Antispyware displays the message 'Unknown start-up program
requires approval' and gives an option to block the RunOnce, which is
unhelpful and scares our customers.

Is there any way to let the AntiSpyware know that our application is to be
trusted or can be viewed as safe? Any advice appreciated.
