There are 2 versions running out there (MS Antispyware)...
Both have 'Control Panels' ...
  V1 you can click on from the system tray
  Later version of V2 you can click from the system tray
  Earlier version of V2 you have to start the program

Rummage around and there all sorts of setting to change....

Curious as to why you want to turn it off?

It has been a GREAT tool....

In one instance it did cleaned up a bad situation that a combination of 
(Norton, Ad*aware, and Spybot) were oblivious too!
I install it on all PC I cleanup, touch!

By the way, if you are running the product called "Microsoft Antispyware" 
which is V1, you may like V2 "Windows Defender" even better....
