I have tried to scan the hard drive using the Anti-
spyware program, and both times it has totally froze my
computer when it started scanning Microsoft's own program
netstat.exe. Got any ideas what I should do?? Should I
uninstall until beta 2 comes out??

Yes, do a full system scan in safe mode, open Microsoft AntiSpyware, on the
scan page, choose Scan Options > Full System scan, make sure all boxes are
checked then click "Run Scan Now".

Restart in Safe Mode Instructions:

Also:
Run antivirus (with current definitions) while you are in safe mode.
