XP and Anti-Spyware

I have XP-SP2 Home and run Norton,Spybot,Ad-Aware and
MSAS Beta 1.For the last couple of days scans have
reported 0-1 threats found and independent scans report
my machine to be spyware free,but,machine behaviour said
different.After reading a post about XP multi-users I ran
the scans on all the user accounts and found a multitude
of problems.(I even turned the guest account on and found
problems there).I have now fixed them all and the machine
is running better than ever,but,what a pain!I used to run
a daily scan from my administrator account but I wont be
doing daily scans when it means scanning all accounts one
by one.This is obviously an XP problem rather than a
fault with the anti-spyware as it involved Spybot,Ad-
Aware and MSAS Beta 1.Does anyone know of a fix for it?
Any thoughts at all?

Restart the computer in Safe Mode, open MSAS, on scan page choose scan
options > full system scan then run it.

No--it isn't an XP problem, it's a problem in the app itself--it needs to be
made "aware" of multi-user situations. I don't know how this will look in
the final product, but I do know that Microsoft is aware of the issue and
working on it--it will be different from what you see in this beta.
