Microsoft is providing some very conflicting information regarding Spyware
Beta2. On one site you are advised to Update from beta1 to Beta2. At
another site, the actual Beta2 Download site, you are advissed for those
using Beta1 they will be individually notified when to Download Beta2. Any
comments...to do, or not to do?

Installing Windows Defender B2 will uninstall MWAS. Those still running
MWAS soon will be offered an upgrade to Defender B2. Shortly thereafter,
there will be no support for MWAS.

Microsoft is taking this in stages. They've promised us a warning before
the floodgates are opened by notifications in-the-program for Microsoft
Antispyware users.

At the same time anyone who wishes is very welcome to upgrade now--I've
upgraded all the machines I administer, and don't hesitate to recommend the
change when posts are made here by Microsoft Antispyware users.

I suspect their will be another incremental jump in the number of total
users rather soon, due to an integration with a different product.

I don't know when they'll trigger notification of Microsoft Antispyware
users, but we'll get a warning in .announcements first--so: "not yet."

(I also believe that the old program will continue to be supported by
definition updates for some time--perhaps even through the current
expiration date of July 31, 2006--this is my own guesswork, however, not
something I've heard someone authoritative state.)
