Are we supposed to uninstall the older version before installing this latest
release of today?
TIA

No.
Just download the new version to your desktop. Double-
click on the icon. This will start the instal process.
You will have to reboot when it is finished installing.
That is what I did several hours ago and everything went
just fine. No need to reload the definitions either since
it keeps what you had.
 
Thank you very much.

The installation of the new version of Microsoft
Antispyware will install over the other one.

One can also wait for the update to come to you. It may be a day or so, but
it will happen.

Yes, I can confirm that. After installing the update over the new version,
would freeze whenever I tried to update it. I am doing a complete uninstall
and reinstalling the new version.
 
A clean install of the new version works fine. No freezes on updates.
