I have my MSAS scheduled to run every day at 11:00 AM, and it does without
fail. However when I open MSAS it says, in red, "You have not run a scan
yet", and that i need to take immediate action. Anybody got any ideas what's
going on?

Are you logged on as an administrator at the time the scan is run? If not,
this is normal. If so, uninstall Microsoft Antispyware, delete \program
files\microsoft antispyware (and all subfolder), and reinstall Microsoft
Antispyware.

You will lose access to all quarantined items, history, and customized
settings.
 
You might be able to copy the files in the Deactivated Items folder to
another folder and place them back there once MSAS has been reinstalled.

I've never tried that--If I were trying to save that stuff, I'd just
unquarantine it, and then reinstall and do a new scan to put it back in
quarantine. If you want to preserve it it probably isn't truly nasty
code...
