Hi,

Every time I try to run this software a program called
Webcam Theatre Demo tries to install right in front of the
spyware program. I am a fairly knowledgable user, and have
scanned my computer with Ad Aware, Spy Doctor (which I
own), Spybot, plus I use Zone Alarm and WinPatrol. Why do I
still see what looks like some kind of spyware try to
install when I use this Microsoft product?
 
Let's not ascribe to spyware what can be managed by a simple(?) bug of some
sort.

I believe this is a problem with the Windows installer. If you don't know
where to find "Webcam Theatre Demo", you can try the Microsoft Windows
Installer cleanup application:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301

See if it lists Webcam theatre demo as something it can clean up entries
for, and, once that's done, whether you can then install Microsoft
Antispyware.
 
Ok, that's what I needed to do. Thanks.
