Hi,

I have downloaded manually signatures using your procedure, and now MSAS
shows the new version 5731 :-)
The funny thing is, I have done this today on two machines - and now one
shows that the spyware definitions were updated on July 1, 2005; and second
one, that they were updated on July 27, 2005 :-D
What a mess.. ;-)



And for all of you, who do not know how to manually update singatures - here
goes plun's procedure how to download and update manually MSAS:


"Right click on MSAS icon within systray and choose shutdown.

Right click and "Save target as..."
http://download.spynet.com/ASDefinitions/gcDeterminationData.gcd

http://download.spynet.com/ASDefinitions/gcThreatAuditScanData.gcd

http://download.spynet.com/ASDefinitions/gcThreatAuditThreatData.gcd

Copy/paste these files to Program files/Microsoft Antispyware

Restart MSAS and "check for updates"

Done until MS realize that this is a bug.............."

I believe when you manually download them you have a new date/timestamp
but inside these definitions you have real stamps, how they are
compilated I dont know and with which tool ?

Nevertheless this is a mess and if you have visit CERT.org anytime this
is really
outstanding for a security product, this is not Moviemaker or Age of
Empires..............!

http://www.cert.org/

A lot of good practises about high standards for security issues.


I know its a "beta", "Singing in the rain"...............
 
Mikolaj,

Version 10.6.14
Spyware definitions: 5731
No longer downloads definitions 5731 repeatedly.

Used your manual download-and-replace procedure, but
without success until I tried using https://. As another
user Alan suggested, one of the update servers may be
missing a file or is serving an obsolete file, and the
secure server may be the good server. IOW, this repeated
update behavior may be an update server administration
issue, not a programmatic issue.

Anyway, hopefully the information below may help the
Microsoft administrators sort out what is happening. No
additional errors were logged since MSAS stopped trying
to re-update to 5731.

Unfortunately, long lines will wrap -- but I didn't want
to send a binary zip attachment on a forum.

Mikolaj, thank you and all the MVPs for your generous
help.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your generous words, but all the splendour and
respect for this manual update solution belongs to Taxman, who discovered it
and offered to the community :-)

And I'm just a one of many, many persons who try to help others :-)
 
Thanks for not posting the binaries!
