Here are a couple of things to try:
A) 1) Open up a command prompt (start -> run -> cmd)
2) Type in the following "regsvr32 msvbvm60.dll" (without the quotes).
3) Close and re-open Windows AntiSpyware
B) If A fails: Uninstall Microsoft Antispyware
Delete \program files\microsoft antispyware and all subfolders
Reinstall Microsoft Antispyware
I've seen a handful of posts with your symptom here, and I'm afraid I can't
recall the outcome--another idea would be to use MSCONFIG to see whether
there's a conflict with some other running apps of some sort.
