Sorry, the Microsoft AntiSpyware web page doesn't reflect the new
version. If you continue through the validate and download you'll get
the newer release at a file size of 6.659 Kbytes. Maybe they've not
gotten around to updating the web site (?).
 
Toast doesn't fly anymore, scans run on the right day and can be run at
noon - more to come...
 
Here is a list of the changes that are in beta 1 Refresh Update, if its not
mentioned, its not in there:
1) Software expiration will be extended to December 31, 2005.
2) Alerts Moving Quickly Across the Screen : Messages which move
quickly off the screen when the start bar is not docked horizontally are
also fixed. Users who dock their start bar on the sides of their screen will
now be able to read messages generated from Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware
(beta).
This issue is what we dubbed the "Flying Toast Issue" and one which I was
passionate about getting fixed in this refresh build.
3) Support for Long Descriptions: Users of older builds only have
access to the short descriptions which ship as part of the signatures. These
short descriptions only provide limited information about potentially
unwanted software. Long descriptions in build 613 will help users by giving
them more information about the potentially unwanted software detected on
their PCs.
4) Improved Winsock LSP removal mechanism: In some cases, removing
spyware LSPs, or can disrupt network functionality. Through enhancements
made in this beta refresh, we've lessened the chance that this problem will
occur.
