Bill,
Did add/remove then manually deleted Anti Spy folder.
Reinstalled to MSAS folder and install program created the
folder.

Wait for next new signature to appear and I'll report back.

additional reply. Yes deleted temp internet file, deleted
TEMP and WINNT\temp and every other temp folder I have.
-----Original Message-----
Is Microsoft Antispyware installed in the default
location? i.e. %program
files%\Microsoft Antispyware ?
Is this XP Home, or XP Pro? You've probably mentioned
this before--sorry,
but I'm not recalling.
We've had a number of installation type issues where
apparently there were
permissions issues when the app was installed under
Program Files--I'm not
remembering details, but the installation either failed,
or didn't work
correctly.
Your symptom is much more subtle than those cases, but
it
might be worth
trying an installation in a non-standard location--say,
c:\MSAS to see
whether it behaved differently.
I think we tried deleting all the temporary files
already? (I haven't
investigated this to understand it well, but I
understand
that the
definition files exist as temporary files as well as the
files in the
installation directory at various times.)
It seems like this must be a permissions issue of some
sort--the program is
unable to replace the existing definition files in the
installation
directory for some reason. It is strange, though that
you, the logged in
user, can easily do this yourself.

But if I do not manually delete these files, they will
remain this way.
-----Original Message-----
Bill,
Same as previously reported, if I deleted them they get
updated to most current and just stay that way.
Deleted 3 times get updated once and updates just stop.
-----Original Message-----
OK - those clearly correspond to 5687a, released
Febuary
5th.
What happens if you delete those files?

They are actually March 8th now with a
remove/delete
folder then reinstall but they still do not
update.
My daughter had problems with her computer
brought
it
over
I hooked it to my router installed Anti- Spyware
and
it
can
get the updated signatures just fine and she
too
is
W2K
SP4. So now we rule out the router I guess.
All of my winsock LSP issued now fixed. Clean
as
a
whistle.
So now a manual update of sigs still doesn't
work
and
auto
update doesn't work either.
