Would like to know if this product will update itself.
Have it programmed to update but it seems the only way to
get updates is to do it manually.......what's up with
that?
 
I have seen both automatic and manual updates work. The default time for
automatic updates is 2:00 AM, as I recall, so your machine would need to be
on with an administrator signed in at that time for this to work.
 
Bill,
I have a question.
When I go to Scan Scheduler, it looks like it only schedules the
scan, not the update. Is that correct?
I would like to automate both update and scanning.

This is my version:
Microsoft AntiSpyware Version: 1.0.615
This version expires on: 12/31/2005
Spyware Definition Version: 5767 (10/14/2005 6:31:16 PM)

thanks
 
Hi Williams,

Look well before you ask, it is in the first window! ;)

Tom's shown where to find the autoupdate settings. I would expect both
these mechanisms to change, perhaps radically, in beta2.

Hello Bill,

i see that attachments not showing on the site, so i just keep it at
text the next time! ;)

Hmm - the attachment shows in NNTP and is just what was needed...

I can't even find this thread on the web side, at the moment.....

Found it--courtesy of search. I see what you mean. I take it the original
post was via NNTP?

Hmm - can't see how to add that kind of data to an HTML post--probably just
as well....
 
Hello Bill,

normal i use Thunderbird to read the news, but i was curious how all
things work with different browsers and than find out that no pics show
up on the site! I see pics on a lot of sites in the messages so it must
be possible. Can you tell me how i can see that a message was send
on site or NNTP?

If you are looking at the groups via NNTP, you can look at the headers:

In Outlook Express, File, Properties, Details tab:

This line:
X-Newsreader: Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000

is the tip-off that this was posted via the web interface. Such posts are
often referred to as "CDO" posts by folks--generally as a term of
opprobrium--since many such posts never bring about any response or further
evidence that the O.P. ever saw the responses.

The newer interface should improve on this, I hope--but we'll see how many
people actually use it.
