Default MS anti-spyware

whenever i try to run the auto-updater of microsoft antispyware the program hangs
i'm not sure whether it is updating the definitions or not...
i'm using the beta version 1.0.614
what can be wrong?

Check your firewall.... See whether you have given access to antispyware?

Yup buddy,the same thing hapend to me as well while updating the definitions.Jus wait for sum time and while the updates r downloaded PLZ DO NOT OPEN any other window or perform any task like browsing the net etc...as it interferes with the downloading process of the ANTI SPYWARE...another flaw in this MS version..

cheers n e-peace....

U can also try LAVASOFT's ADWARE and SPYBOT Search & destroy..these 2 s/wares u can use simultaneoulsy on ur system and they will not conflict with each other..and if in case sum adware is not detected by one then the other will surely detect it..and visa versa try it its the best combo..

cheers n e-epace....
