MS Antispyware problem

[Francis Marsden]

When installing a new program, one is supposed to close all running programs
first. If I right click on Microsoft Antispyware icon in systray, and
choose shutdown, then the next time Windows XP starts up, the Antispyware
program Security Agents status is "disabled". So I have to manually enable
it, but I often forget. Is there any way to have it restart with real time
protection "enabled"?

If you disable it while you install new software, you then have no
protection if the software contains malware.

Then you are a fool, for as he says when installing a new program, one is
supposed to close all running programs first, and that includes anti-virus and
anti-spyware programs, but then anybody running a computer with WinXP as the OS
is hardly serious about security anyway, and anybody running WinXP plus MS Anti-
spyware, no doubt thinks that the firewall built into XP is a good thing too,
so why don't you all just f/f-fade away?

LOL! Another know-it-all/know-nothing loser with HUA.
