AS title suggests is this possible? It gets quite frustating having to allow it to run every time i turn on the laptop!

What do you mean by run? Are you talking about scanning? You can set it to scan whenever you want if you have paid version by clicking "Scheduled Scanning" and setting it to do that whenever you want. There also is a setting in Preferences you can check for "not scanning on startup" if you like.

no i mean to nable the program to startup(boot?) i have to click on a link asking if i give the program permission to run! I understand this is a safety feature of the vista uac but is there a way of allowing trusted programs to start all the time with out prompting? Also maybe need a new thread but when i stop msn messenger from auto starting with msconfig it just comes back after a while! Why is this? How can it be stopped i use messenger but dont want it popping up every time i restart the computer!

Messenger needs you to set that within the program under Tools, Options, I believe Security but you will see where the checkmarks are to start with Windows and you just uncheck them hit apply and close.
In Security Center in Control Panel on left change how security center alerts me to don't alert me. Then go into User Accounts and turn off Uac. The problem isn't Superantispyware, it's Vista.

The idea was a good one but in practice, it creates way too many problems. I shut it off on all client pc's and all of my units and in addition to the 2 steps I gave you I also go into Control Panel, Admin Tools, Services and click open Windows Defender and disable that as well, as it is useless and creates a ton of problems while offering no real value to the system.
