Hi,
Having downloaded and installed the Antispyware, I cannot
run it - as a pop up box tells me that:

"This version of Microsoft Antispyware has expired as of
31-Jul-05"

The pop up box has an OK button. After pressing that the
application disappears.

Clearly, it isn't that date yet, and my computer date is
set to 10 March 2005.

Any ideas?

Go to Regional Settings in Control Panel
Under Regional Options click Customize
Click Date tab
From both the dropdown menus, select the top option.
If you still have the problem, try others.

This is somehow connected to the regional settings of
Windows XP. According to my tests, Microsoft Antispyware
Beta 1 only works with English regional settings. Which
means, that if you have another set, it will display this
message.
If it's not cruicial for you to have differesnt that
English-US regional settings, revert back to those, it will
make Antispyware work. It helped me.
