[Guest]

I was wondering why the autoupdater was saying most
recent version installed when there was a new version
1.0.509 on the web. I was using 1.0.501

Overview
Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) is a security technology that helps protect
Windows users from spyware and other potentially unwanted software. Known
spyware on your PC can be detected and removed. This helps reduce negative
effects caused by spyware including slow PC performance, annoying pop-up
ads, unwanted changes to Internet settings, and unauthorized use of your
private information. Continuous protection improves Internet browsing safety
by guarding over 50 ways spyware can enter your PC.

Since releasing Windows AntiSpyware (Beta) on January 6, 2005, we have
received feedback from customers and have made enhancements to the software
based on this feedback. We have enhanced some of the real-time protection
agents, added new threat categories, and improved stability and performance.
If you are using a previous version you can simply upgrade to the refreshed
version. The version number of the refreshed version is 1.0.509. To check
the version number, click About Microsoft AntiSpyware. on the Help menu.

Participants in the worldwide SpyNetT community play a key role in
determining which suspicious programs are classified as spyware. Microsoft
researchers quickly develop methods to counteract these threats, which are
automatically downloaded to your PC, so you stay up-to-date.

The user must be an administrator to install this application.

Note: This download has been updated to include signature version 5687,
which is the most current as of February 10, 2005. Customers who have
installed Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware prior to this date do not need to
re-download. They will receive signature updates as part of their next
automatic or manual signature update.

There is a newer version available, from late last week, on the web site.
It's not available as an update, and will require a reboot when it is done
installing.

I got it from http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Popup-
Ad-Spyware-Blockers/Windows-AntiSpyware.shtml

It updates 1.0.501 to 1.0.509

Please don't. Please get Microsoft files directly from Microsoft's download
servers, so that you can be assured of authenticity.

This file is only perhaps three clicks from:

http://www.microsoft.com/spyware

Why look anywhere else?

.I am using version 1.0.501 which I first downloaded how do you obtain version 1.0.509

 

[Bill Sanderson]

Via the link posted above. i.e. you go back to the original download site
and download again. The information at the download site will reflect the
new build, and the download will upgrade the older version. You must do it
this way, it won't come in via the software update feature.
