Note sure actually, as their article has not been updated, just the file, I installed to verify the version as they still refer to the old version number.

You expect Microsoft to give you a change log? lol :)

Moving expiration date to Dec 31 I think is one of the changes.

From Steve Dobsons blog:

1) Software expiration will be extended to December 31, 2005.

2) Alerts Moving Quickly Across the Screen : Messages which move quickly off the screen when the start bar is not docked horizontally are also fixed. Users who dock their start bar on the sides of their screen will now be able to read messages generated from Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (beta).

This issue is what we dubbed the ?Flying Toast Issue? and one which I was passionate about getting fixed in this refresh build.

3) Support for Long Descriptions: Users of older builds only have access to the short descriptions which ship as part of the signatures. These short descriptions only provide limited information about potentially unwanted software. Long descriptions in build 613 will help users by giving them more information about the potentially unwanted software detected on their PCs.

4) Improved Winsock LSP removal mechanism: In some cases, removing spyware LSPs, or can disrupt network functionality. Through enhancements made in this beta refresh, we?ve lessened the chance that this problem will occur.

Does it still say the old version after you install? Their article has not been updated with the new text, you need to install it.

Installed over the top fine (Y)

If anyone can't get the new version to work try uninstalling and deleting the old program folder that worked for me. I was quick to think it was the browsers at first sins it worked in IE the very first time i D/L it in IE instead of FF.

But really i think i just deleted the old program folder before installing it that time.

I tried installing over the top via the "Update Microsoft Anti-Spyware" option but my version # did not change. I had to uninstall the old version, download the new build, and re-install it in order to successfully install this refresh release.

thnks for the heads up...updated installed :)
