AntiSpyware is not updating

[Hashmy]

Hi

I am facing a problem in updating Microsoft AntiSpyware
from long time, and I don't know why. I have reinstall it
serveral times, but it is showing a warning:-

"Warning, could not connect to the Internet!"

if i have a problem in my connection ( like it is saying
in the warning) than how come I can browse Microsoft page.

Today, I download again AntiSpyware, which is
Microsoft AntiSpyware Version: 1.0.614
This version expires on: 12/31/2005
Spyware Definition Version: 5725 (7/1/2005 12:51:44 AM)

but still is showing same warning.

I can update Windows and my AntiVirus, but i can't update
Microsoft AntiSpyware

I hope someone help me in this

Thank you

bye

Done until MS realize that this is a bug.............."
