No Limited/Multiple User account support. big no no,

[Halo]

MSAS need Administrator Account in order to work
properly. this issue need to be fix, i just hope that
beta 2 will change all this so i can finally use this
antispyware feeling confident that all the user account
on my computer is protected, as of right now i don't feel
that it will benefit me or people who have alot of user
account with limited privelege.

From Steve Dodson:
You have a limited user account running the application looking for spyware
on all files and folders. This includes the administrator account which
limited users may not be able to access. So we have to approach this
carefully in order to remove the spyware from all locations, but also
preserve file and folder permissions and access.

In short, we are addressing this for a future release, but it involves some
major coding and testing.
-----

Much of the real-time protection and blocking involves reading or writing
parts of the registry that limited-user accounts might not have access to.

Unfortunately, when the precursor of MSAS was written (not by Microsoft)
almost all of the guidelines to developers (on the design of applications to
run in limited-user account status) were flouted. For instance, it stores
its preferences and data in a directory to which limited-user accounts do
not normally have write-access. MSAS Beta 1 is still in this messy state.
