i can't get any new definitions for microsoft antispyware beta 1.

whenever i try i get: "warning, could not connect to the internet!"

***
i tried changing firewall settings, etc etc etc.

my internet explorer works fine. i tend to use firefox and opera, because it's less of a security threat.

ANYBODY KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS???

Same trouble here for two days now. Because of the number of people having the same problem the fault must be with the Microsoft server. Surely they could put out a message to put us all at ease.

it was working fine yesterday and i've just got the same error, so it must be their end

Use Linux ...

No problem with MS here.

you know, after criticism, microsoft is supposed to be taking a change in direction, to prove they care about security with their products.

all i can say is -- HA HA HA -- the joke's on us MS users.

i googled, and there are ALOT of people posting about it, how they can't update the microsoft antispyware beta 1 app.

I ALREADY had to stop using internet explorer -- TOO MANY VIRUSES got thru. (now i use firefox and opera)

this keeps up, i'm going to go to LINUX.

MICROSOFT SHOULD AT LEAST POST ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. even if it's not their doing, too many users are having it to ignore ALL OF US.

i've never had this problem with adaware, bazooka, highjackthis or spyware blaster.

i guess microsoft just doesn't have the resources to keep up with those other major companies (HEE HEE HEE) ...that's an angry laugh, by the way

PS, rein & Me__2001 --
mine was working fine too -- until about 2 or 3 days ago

it was working about 30 seconds ago so maybe they've fixed it

IT WORKS!
YIPEEEE!
(it was DEFINITELY on their end -- since we ALL noticed it)
-- thanks for letting me know...

i had the same problem about that time, and I thought it was from my end, even though my e-mail was working i couldn't connect to the internet via the internet explorer. I basically had to restore my computer a couple of times from September thinking i had a virus, but maybe it's because of this problem. It is working fine now, but i am not happy with internet explorer either. I had to download new anti-virus software like adware as well as having mcafee (but i'm not sure about mcafee).

Glad i looked into this forum, only wish i looked earlier.

Why use it now if MS antispyware did not have the decency to advertise the fact there WAS a problem, tell them to st##f it and don’t use it again That’s why I don’t they are absolute crap! MS antispyware that is?
