everytime i start MSAS, it tries to backup some programs
using windows installer. it also does this everytime a
scheduled scan runs. i have tried every menu in the
program to find why it's doing this to no avail - any
suggestions??

Harris,

Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=290301

Run the above utility and have it remove install configuration
information for the programs that come up when you start MSAS.

NOTE from the above article :
" If you use this utility to remove the Windows Installer configuration
information for your program and you plan to reinstall the program, you
should reinstall the program in the same folder where you originally
installed it. This prevents duplication of files on your hard disk or
disks. "

When you're done cleaning up go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.
Click on Microsoft AntiSpyware, then click the Change button, then Next,
and choose the Update option.
Did that resolve the issue ?
