Does anyone know if it is possible to re-install the Beta 1 version of the
microsoft anti-spyware program?

I installed WD beta 2 on 2 computers - and now sorry I did. Beta 1 was
working great for me - but I am having problems with beta 1.

It would be nice for microsoft to bring back the beta 1 program - at least
until the beta 2 version is working better.

I'd recommend that you take a good look at the known issues at the web site.

Bill;
My guess is your request is contrary to Microsoft's plans.
They want Beta 2 tested so all the bugs can be worked out.
There is probably no reason for Microsoft to do any work on Beta 1 other
than possibly updated definitions.
Making Beta 1 easy to get may do nothing for Microsoft in its plan to finish
Windows Defender.

Since it is Beta, the goal is more of producing a final product rather than
supporting an old build that may contribute nothing to that goal.

Hi Bill

I am having exactly the same problem. Just upgraded to Windows Defender and
it refuses to complete the necessary update (error 80240022). I have Windows
XP SP2. What can I do? our help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Best advice I can give in the time I have available is to 1) go to
WindowsUpdate and see if that takes care of it, and/or 2) search these
groups on that error number and see if you can find threads with solutions
that have worked for others seeing the same error.
