Outdated definitions

[Hagrinas Mivali]

If I tell MSAS to update definitions, it says it's updating definitions from
5725 to 5735. If I try to do it again later, I get the same message.
Before I tried, it said that my definitions were last updated at 3am. I'm
running 1.0.614. What's going on?

If I tell MSAS to update definitions, it says it's updating
definitions from 5725 to 5735. If I try to do it again later, I get
the same message. Before I tried, it said that my definitions were
last updated at 3am. I'm running 1.0.614.

Install build 1.0.615 as follows:

6. In control panel "Internet Options", emtpy your Temporary Internet Files
by clicking on the button "Delete Files..."
7. In the dialog that comes up, check "Delete all offline content", and
click OK.
8. Pause: when the file deletion has finished, click OK in Internet Options.
9. Launch your web browser, go to http://www.microsoft.com/spyware/ then
follow the links for the download.
10. When downloading the AntiSpyware Installer, select Save rather than Run.
11. When the download finishes, in Windows Explorer navigate to the
downloaded file, right-click it, and select "Properties".
12. Click tab "Digital Signatures" and read the date and time of the Digital
Signature.
13. For the Build 615 Installer, the digital signature date should be 13
July 2005 at 18:44:35 GMT, though the time will be displayed as adjusted for
your timezone.
14. If any other Digital Signature date is shown, then you do not have the
Build 615 installer: maybe your download was thwarted by an intervening web
cache: if so, repeat from step 5 tomorrow, each day until it comes right.
15. If you have the Build 615 installer, then execute it now. You should
restart Windows after the installer has finished.

Done.

Look at this post by Robin Walker:

It's time to withdraw the recommended procedure in the first post of this
thread, and post a new recommended procedure:

1. In MSAS, pull down the "Help" menu and select "About...".
2. Read the Version number. If it is 1.0.615 or higher, stop now, there is
nothing to do.
3. If the Version number is less than 1.0.615, carry on.
4. Close MSAS.
5. If you use a browser other than MSIE, follow its procedures for emptying
its web cache, then skip to step 9.
6. In control panel "Internet Options", emtpy your Temporary Internet Files
by clicking on the button "Delete Files..."
7. In the dialog that comes up, check "Delete all offline content", and
click OK.
8. Pause: when the file deletion has finished, click OK in Internet Options.
9. Launch your web browser, go to http://www.microsoft.com/spyware/ then
follow the links for the download.
10. When downloading the AntiSpyware Installer, select Save rather than Run.
11. When the download finishes, in Windows Explorer navigate to the
downloaded file, right-click it, and select "Properties".
12. Click tab "Digital Signatures" and read the date and time of the Digital
Signature.
13. For the Build 615 Installer, the digital signature date should be 13
July 2005 at 18:44:35 GMT, though the time will be displayed as adjusted for
your timezone.
14. If any other Digital Signature date is shown, then you do not have the

cache: if so, repeat from step 5 tomorrow, each day until it comes right.
15. If you have the Build 615 installer, then execute it now. You should

Done.
