When I use MSAS on Administrator account to scan my
computer it cannot scan all the user account, it seem to
scan only the account thats log in.
 
That is correct. Hopefully, there will be changes forthcoming in Beta2 that
will cure that.

The file permissions and system files MUST NOT be changed
in ANY way. In order for this to occurr, a major amount
of coding and testing must take place before MS is even
willing to make this updated application available to the
public for beta testing.

Hopefully it will be supported to do Administrative updates for Microsoft
AntiSpyware under limited accounts. Why its not supported now was simply
because of how the program was developed under the original developer GIANT,
as solely a single user application. The program went directly into beta 21
days after being purchased, so there is still more to expect between now and
beta 2 and we might just see some drastic changes.

Steve Dodson also posted some information on this topic I don't know if it
would be considered antiquated now:
You 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.
