Did a forum search but did not find anything the last couple weeks.

Appreciate any recent experience with it.

Thanks

On my XP Pro box, it refused to update the virus defs after
install.

I searched and found that I had to download and run Windows
Update Agent.

AFter that it seems to run OK but has found nothing.

I experienced the same problem as Musashi. There is no option to
download updates. Instead, you can use the Windows Update option
(where you go the the MS website and scan for updates) or have it
auto-update.

Everytime I run a scan, it finds one piece of spyware (don't recall the
name). When I select to remove it, there is an error message and it
won't delete. I have even booted up in safe mode and run a scan only
to get the same error message.
