After installing Microsoft's Antispyware, my computer sseems to try to read/scan/cache the entire contents of a disc whenever I insert a data CD. Of course, this just makes it so it takes 10+ minutes just to read a disc. I resort to going into task manager and end the gcasDtServ.exe process every time I insert a CD.

I've disabled the application agents in MSAV, and that doesn't seem to have helped.

Does this happen to anyone else?

I have MS antispyware it I don't have the problem reading CD.
Would it be possible that it is connflicting with some other software?

I imagine that's the case, since there must be hundreds of thousands of downloads by now. But for some reason I can confirm that the process scanning the disc on insert is Giant Antispyware :/ Oh well, it's not a big deal to terminate the process each time - it's smart enough to restart on its own.

Interesting article. I'm going to investigate further.

Please report back! It seems that this is a major revision to the one you commented on earlier.

I'm going to look deeper than a PC Mag article because sometimes they get biased towards advertising dollars.
If I make any changes in my recommendations I will let you know.
