No shutdown option

[The Unknown P]

There is no way to shut down MSAS in the GUI. The only way
to shut it down so that you can perform system maintenance
is to have the MSAS Icon in the system tray so that you
can right click on it and then click "Shutdown Microsoft
AntiSpyware". A button is need in the GUI or a shutdown
option under the files. I try to keep the system tray as
uncluttered as possible and so I chose not to have the
Icon displayed as I know the program is running at every
startup anyway. TTFN.

Excellent point! I s'pose this could be intentional--I install it without
the tray icon in office settings, and I'd rather folks didn't shut it down.

Never thought about it--and I have used taskmgr to shut it down a few times.
