Hi Lamont,

Is your Internet Explorer or Outlook Express set to work off-line or on-line?

Please check in the File menu of Internet Exporer or Outlook Express - the
"Work off-line" option should nºt be checked.

Do you have a software or hardware firewall that controls outbound
connections?

What firewall was involved?

If you search the help for Microsoft Antispyware, it has some information
about what needs to be allowed out through a firewall that controls outbound
traffic.


From: "Ron Chamberlin"
Use the method below which fits your OS version. If you are on XP SP2, use
the second method:

1) (winsock reset for 2k, xp pre sp2, and 2003 pre sp1)

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;817571

2) (Winsock reset for xpsp2)

netsh winsock reset

enter
restart machine.

After resetting Winsock, applications which have added themselves to the
stack will need to be reinstalled.

These may include third-party VPN clients, some McAfee privacy or network
security related software, and others--check what is working and what is not.

Let us know how works ºut. it

I did try disableing my firewall that did not work and I also tried the work
off line thing and that too did not work. Also I did not say anything before
but....... I have never been able to do an update manualy with the beta
spy-ware! Is there any thing else I might try? Also I did uninstall and did
reinstall it too! Thanks...........................Lamont :>)
