Outlook works, msn works and the spyware tells me there is no internet
connection?

The Microsoft spyware program tells me I have no Internet connection.
Running diagnostics gives this result:

I have to agree the message is not clear, since you obviously have an internet
connection. What is unclearer yet is what your hoping to accomplish by manually
checking for updates. You have the latest software version and the latest
signature definitions. NO new updates will be available until the normal update
release on Thursday December 15 at the earliest. Your system is set to
automatically check for signature updates, just let it do that function. If
that doesn't happen automatically, then there could be a problem with your
installation, but you do not have any MSAS problem currently.

Yes, Microsoft servers are down over the weekend. In most cases, like yours it
doesn't matter if they are up or down. Your AntiSpyware is running and
protecting your system. I really doubt anyone is sitting in their Microsoft
office over Saturday and Sunday reading these hundreds of posts regarding a
non-revenue producing Beta product, so all these posts are totally un-necessary.

And, for anyone demanding an immediate answer from Microsoft... that's equally
ridiculous, they rarely post in this newsgroup, although they do lurk in these
forums.
