Thanks - Randy, I'd never noticed the click on the Spyware Definitions
method.
I believe that all the methods, manual (either) or automatic--all run the
same code--but there are some strange things about this program. I had a
VPC on which the program died upon any attempt to bring up the UI in the
usual way--either by clicking on the menu item, the desktop icon, or
right-clicking the system tray icon and choosing to run it.
However, if I used the system tray icon to initiate a scan, and then halted
the scan, I could play with the UI to my hearts content without any further
error. Now that I think about this, I guess the error probably related to
the setup and/or display of the summary page, which I believe there's a way
to get back to once you've left it, but I can't recall what it is--and never
do that.
I run the manual update via the summary window as due course now.
Don't rely on the auto-update to work, though I leave it set.
Beats having the huge warning that it's turned off <g>
MSFT are watching, **and taking notes** as we all know, Beta2, hopefully
will have less bugs and glitches.
It's amusing what MSAS flags, and what it doesn't....
Example; IE5 toolbar wallpaper, can be used on any build of IE;
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/previous/webaccess/tbwlpapr.mspx
MSAS flags it as "GonnaSearch Toolbar" -- Adware. Reported to SpyNet.
Peculiar, at best - not a criticism, though.
