If you installed recently there are no updates anyway.
In Directory of C:\your program files\AntiSpyware
In your Firewall identify the blocked programs
and enable them for FTP / HTTP ie "Download managers"
4 programs MAY need access.
Try one at a time.
gcasSWUpdater.exe
GIANTAntiSpywareMain.exe
GIANTAntiSpywareUpdater.exe
MSSSRT.exe
The last one is the reporting tool that enables MS
to get a report from you, it does work but has bugs that
you will find when you try to use it.
Get the reporting tool by
Tools->Suspected Spyware Report...
Danger this tool also sends a list of all your system
programs in use to MS without asking you first.
See my Spyware Report Part 1 in this forum.
