Microsoft Antispyware

Everytime I check for updates it says I need to update from definition 5725 to 5729. It downloads and installs the update but if I check again for updates it says I still need to update from 5725 to 5729. I am using the updated version that came out this week. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

 

I've had this problem,all i did was reinstall Microsoft Anti-Spyware.Then it updated fine.

 

jwdd,

Be sure you have the updated version, download below.

Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware 1.0.614 (Beta)

 

Mine is doing that too, and I have the latest version installed! What's going on?

 

Does anyone know what's up with MS Antispyware?

 

I did all that & it still keeps looping the updates, over & over again. According to the MSAS support forums, there is a problem, and MS doesn't seem to know about it! Apparently the new signatures have to be manually downloaded from Spynet, and copied into MSAS. I manually updated and it solved the problem (I hope!). Here is the link for anyone who wants it: http://communities.microsoft.com/ne...28@TK2MSFTNGSA02.privatenews.microsoft.com%3E

 

version 1.0.614. That's the latest one isn't it?

 

Well OK but there is a problem. Did you read all the complaints on the MS Antispyware (Beta) Newsgroup?

 

Oh I hate it when I'm the only one having problems. And I don't know if it's fixed or not. Have to wait til the next signature update.

 

In Help>About>MSAS it says I do have it, but who knows what will happen the next update.

 

I saw this posted by Donna (Host in a CastleCops forum). Method II worked for me.

 

This is what worked for me.

What I did was uninstall the program and then I deleted the gcUnCompress.dll file located in the Windows, System32 folder. Also I deleted the folder MicrosoftAntispyware in the program files folder. I reinstalled the anti spyware program and all is well.
