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.
