Its so annoying! each time I visit one of the MSN sites
(hotmail, MSN), Microsoft AntiSpyware keeps on saying its
blocked Avenue A, Inc. Why would a AntiSpyware company
actually GIVE us spyware?
 
You've got something in place on your machine, and associated with the
browser--perhaps a bho--that is attempting to reinstall.

I'd recommend restarting in safe mode by pressing the F8 function key before
the initial Windows screen appears, and doing a full, deep scan with
Microsoft Antispyware. In addition, use the Tools, advanced tools, system
explorers to browse the IE-associated items for things marked as
Unknown--and consider blocking them. You might even browse other startup
locations for items you can't recognize as desirable. Blocking things here
is reversable at any time--so this is safe. The interface also won't let
you block a number of essential items.
