MSAS Refresh Extended to Dec. 31, 2005

[Andre Da Costa]

Well here is some information about the refresh of Microsoft AntiSpywar
everyone has been waiting for:
Microsoft is slated to release to the Web in the next day or two a beta
refresh of its Microsoft AntiSpyware product.
Some testers reported Wednesday that they had downloaded a new beta version
of Microsoft AntiSpyware (version number 1.0.613). They also reported that
Microsoft has extended the beta-expiration date for the product from July
31, 2005, to Dec. 31, 2005.

Microsoft officials confirmed that Microsoft has extended the beta period
until the end of the year. Officials also acknowledged that the company has
been testing on a selective basis the beta refresh number 1.0.613. (The
current beta version number is 1.0.509.)

The pending refresh is not Beta 2, however. Microsoft executives said Beta 2
will be released "sometime later this year."

"We are going through with a refresh of the [Microsoft AntiSpyware] beta,"
said Paul Bryan, director of product management with Microsoft's security
technology and business unit. "We are testing this right now a bit, making
sure that things are OK" before releasing to all testers.

Bryan said Wednesday that Microsoft plans to make the refresh available to
all testers "in the next day or so."

My question is whether this new refresh version will be
pushed down via the updating mechanism of MSAS or if I'll
have to reinstall the app.

Apologies if that was already answered, I couldn't find
it.

 

[Andre Da Costa]

Since its a "Refresh" it could be but it won't be hard to just download it
and run the install.

will probably have to uninstall the old version and
install the new refresh version because i think Microsoft
is working on the update mechanism.

You have to download the new version.
Just download it to your desktop and then double click.
It will then go through the install process.
Everything will then be right up to date. You don't have
to re-install it.
You will have to restart your computer.
