I am running Windows XP Pro, Sp1.
I 'ninstalled Microsoft AntiSpyware beta V1' and then downloaded the new
'Defnder Beta 2' program. However, I was not able to install it, as I do not
have SP2 on my computer.
No where have I been able to find where I can downloaded and install my
original 'Microsft AntiSpyware Beta 1' which can run on SP1.I have searched
everywhere.
Can you help me? I do not intend to download SP2.

Use a different antispyware program then. MSAS is dead and will not be
updated. Running an antispyware (or antivirus) program without
to-the-minute definitions is useless. Worse than useless, actually,
because you think you're protected and you're not.

kimjor:

Why do you not want to install XP SP2? If you are having install or
application compatibility issues you should contact Microsoft Support at
http://support.microsoft.com - in the assisted support options in the middle
of the page.

SP1 was originally released August 2002; SP2 was released 18 months ago, in
August 2004. There is a 24 month transition period to allow people to
evaluate and deploy SP2 while SP1 is still supported with security fixes
(http://www.microsoft.com/lifecycle). However, effective October 2006,
later this year, security updates for XP SP1 will no longer be available as
it will no longer be in lifecycle supposrt. You need to make plans to
install SP2 prior to this date or risk having an insecure computer.

I encourage everyone still running XP SP1 to plan to install SP2 in the near
future to remain secure. And of course, for those still using XP Orginal
Release, you need to instal SP2 asap.

thanks
john
