I am using Windows XP SP2. I usually login as limited
user as anyone should do for security reasons. However I
noticed that the "Last Scan Date" in Microsoft
Antispyware was not being updated even after I run a full
scan. When are we going to start using good programming
practices i.e. programming under least privelages
environment ?!?!

I then logged in under administrator privilages and ran a
full system scan. The Last Scan Date updated itself.
 
Steve Dodson explains the incompatibility with Limited accounts:
ou 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.

Open MWAS, go to Options--->Settings, and then to Real Time Protection for
Autostart; and on to General to have MWAS active, but hidden on the System
Tray.
