When did you try Microsoft's Anti-Spyware Beta?? Maybe they have more of the bugs worked out now (smile). And you do have to schedule the updates for automatic. It was set for an oddball time (LOL) and I just changed it today. I like the fact the program quarantines and you have the choice to delete or leave it there for awhile until you know whatever the file they quarantine isn't used by a legitimate program.
