Afterward, when I tried to update the program, the update dialog box just
froze and froze and froze. I could not shut it or the program down. It
would not even shut down with Task Manager, so I had to push the reset
button on my PC. Microsoft Antispyware had to be completely uninstalled
using Add/Remove Programs. Then I manually deleted the Microsoft
Antispyware folder in Program Files. I manually downloaded the new version
6-23-05 and will install it and set it up from scratch. If it still does
freezes when trying to update, I will report back.

SeaMaid said:According to that website 5725 is the latest version shown (June 9). When
I click Help - About, 5727 is shown (June 24).
Microsoft AntiSpyware Version: 1.0.613
This version expires on: 12/31/2005
Spyware Definition Version: 5727 (6/24/2005 1:31:51 PM)
If I go to File - Update and try to update it again, it says it's updating
from 5725 to 5727. So is the 5727 update being applied correctly, or not?
Usually, if I had the latest patterns, it wouldn't try to install the same
one over again.
