Spyware definitions

[Steven B]

Hello,

I currently have MSAS installed on three different systems. One system's
Spyware Definition file's date is January 10th and before the update, it was
Jan 7th. It was updated on Monday Jan 10th, at around 6:am AST.

I decided to update the other two systems after work. The second system I
updated, the Spyware defination date was changed from the 7th to the 8th.
The third doesn't change at all, it stiil says the Spyware Definition is Jan
7th.

If I click on the date on either the above systems, no new definitions are
available or software versions are available.

Why is there a descrepency in the dates between the three systems. The
system with the Jan 10th date was installed first, the one with the Jan. 8th
date was the second to be installed, and the last system to be installed has
the Jan 7th date. The time between the installs is several hours

Any thoughts?

Steven

There's something very funky about the UI around the definitions. Go by the
version number, which should be 5680--look in Help, about.

I've new machines freshly installed which had 5680 before they were run
(i.e. I ran the update app before I ran the antispyware app the first
time)--I see a number of different dates and times, but always 5680--and I
think that is what matters--I've no idea what the meaning of the date is.
