Last night I was queried to install an update for MS Anti Spyware (BETA) on
on of my machines at home. I installed the update, no apparent issues. This
morning I turned on another machine and was not prompted to install an
update. Note that they both had same rev on them. Out of curiosity I started
the application and tried to updat manually and MS site said no updates were
available. This made me wonder if the beta program has already been
hacked/breeched. On arrival to work a colleague was prompted to install an
update on his machine, he installed it and can no longer boot his machine. I
chose not to install the update on my business laptop until I know that it is
a valid update. After refusing that update, I hit the update button in the
Antispyware program and was again told that they're are no new updates.
Was there a legitimate update released or were my coworker and my home
machine hacked?
