This may not work, but it won't be a waste of time. Uninstall MS
Antispyware again. Click Start / All Programs / Accessories / System
Tools and run Disk Cleanup. Get rid of all temp and temp internet
files. Go back to System Tools and run Disk Defragmenter even if the
report says you do not need to run it. Re-install MS Antispyware.
If that does not work, uninstall it again, create a new user account
with admin rights, log in as that new user and install it again.
