AutoUpdater gone into overdrive

[Chas W]

Current version info:

Microsoft AntiSpyware Version: 1.0.614
This version expires on: 31/12/2005
Spyware Definition Version: 5731 (04/07/2005 12:24:10)
Product ID: 76831-000-0000012-00123


Since upgrading to v 1.0.614, the autoupdater has gone into
overdrive and has downloaded "Spyware Definition Version:
5731", time after time.

I have toggled AutoUpdater OFF and resorted to manual
updates but still get v. 5731 over and over (but only when
I choose!)

Is it a product bug or just my system?

Out of curiosity, would you please list the contents of your
error.log file from the msas folder here?

In my prior post I asked for error.log. That should read errors.log.

This is my version info:
Microsoft AntiSpyware Version: 1.0.614
This version expires on: 12/31/2005
Spyware Definition Version: 5731 (7/1/2005 3:47:10 PM)
Product ID: 76831-000-0000012-00123

Note the different time and date format. This is a problem for some
users.
Try changing to US English date and 12 hour time.

solution for us?

Almost everyone (if not everyone) has this update problem. The solution is
the manual update using plun's procedure:

"Right click on MSAS icon within systray and choose shutdown.

Right click and "Save target as..."

http://download.spynet.com/ASDefinitions/gcThreatAuditThreatData.gcd

Copy/paste these files to Program files/Microsoft Antispyware

Restart MSAS and "check for updates"

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