How does this beta version interact with existing spyware
on your computer (McAfee, Trend, etc.)? I can't believe
it, but I haven't found a word on this issue on
Microsoft's website - or did I miss something?
 
Nope, no problems have been reported, which I have to say is kinda
remarkable. Actually, I did encounter a problem when trying to install
Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition 9, Microsoft AntiSpyware would not let
me, so I disabled it in the Notification and ran the installation again and
it installed perfectly.

Just remember that before installing either MSAS or Norton to disable either
prior to installing.
 
If you search the help on the key "known issues" there's a brief mention of
this:
 
Well, I tried to uninstall my trial version of CounterSpy
on the machine which I installed MSAS on. It did not
like the uninstall (machine would be real slow on boot
and consistantly lock up) and I could not reinstall it
with any luck, so I used System Restore. On another
machine with CounterSpy but without MSAS I had no problem
with the unistall of CounterSpy.
