I down loaded a copy of the spyware program and tried to
run it and it said this version no longer runs as of July
2005 and then it says contact Microsoft for a update. I
can't find the update. Can some one help me.

You have the display format for dates set to other than the defaults. Or,
your current date and time are set wrong.
Check the date and time first.
Then go to control panel, Date, Time, Language, and Regional options
Choose Regional and Language options, and click on the Customize button on
the displayed page.
Click on the date tab. Find the short date format and long date format
dropdown controls, and reset each one to the topmost choice.
 
It is indeed Beta software at this point. Whether or not it will be
permanently free remains to be seen. At this point, there is no update.
The version you have is the same one that everyone else has and it is
the latest. My guess is that it is set to expire because they are
expecting to release the final product around that date.

If you are interested in some other free anti-spyware programs that are
permanently free, let me know and I'll list them for you. There are
several very good ones.
 
Bill, I thought it was over 20 million of us. Why aren't you acknowledging
us all? ;-)
 
Well - I've heard the figure of 20 million downloads, but I figure some
portion of those are early adopters going from .501 to .509--so I don't want
to say 20 million users. But maybe I'm being too conservative!
 
It /will/ be free - no question about it. This has been confirmed by Gates
himself, and he would be tarred and feathered if it wasn't free. The
Enterprise Edition will more than likely cost something, but that makes
sense given the time and money invested in this product. Home users - rest
assured it will be free.
