Microsoft Set to Update Anti-Spyware Beta Microsoft is slated to release to the Web in the next day or two a beta refresh of its Microsoft AntiSpyware product. Some testers reported Wednesday that they had downloaded a new beta version of Microsoft AntiSpyware (version number 1.0.613). They also reported that Microsoft has extended the beta-expiration date for the product from July 31, 2005, to Dec. 31, 2005. Rest of story HERE i_XpUser

Thanks for the heads up mate, I forgot about it expiring next month...

For anyone who can't wait for the new version thru the programs update you can download it at the link below. You can install it right over your current version. Microsoft® Windows AntiSpyware (Beta)(Build 1.0.613) Tufenuf

I just did that and guess what...it's buggy The About M$ Antispyware still shows Build 1.0.509 with the expiration date 7/31/2005. This doesn't surprise me considering that it's only a beta version. i_XpUser

well I was just sittin here minding my own business when a little MS antispyware message came up asking me if I wanted to get the new version or something like that, so I said ok, installed rebooted and now it basically seems the same to me. I checked in "about ms antispyware" under "help" and it says: Microsoft AntiSpyware Version: 1.0.613 This version expires on: 31/12/2005 Jen

Updated: I uninstalled M$ Antispyware and removed its installation folder. After restart I installed the newer version and everything came out beautiful! i_XpUser

HMMMM! Just checked for updates using the program and it doesn't see any. Downloaded the latest one anyway from the M$ site. D4Dog "beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder"
