This is still actual, but you can update manualy MSAS.
Simply download files form below URL's and overwrite your's in eg.
directory(C:\Program Files\Microsoft AntiSpyware).
http://download.spynet.com/ASDefinitions/gcDeterminationData.gcd
http://download.spynet.com/ASDefinitions/gcThreatAuditScanData.gcd
http://download.spynet.com/ASDefinitions/gcThreatAuditThreatData.gcd
Files are unpacked and ready to use.
Newest version is: 5783
