Well I'm on version 1.50.1.1100 - and still not getting autoupdating.
I've made sure my firewall allows access.

Could you explain what you mean by "you have to re-add them". I've been
doing manual daily updates.

I saw a reference in the forum to using a MWAB clean programme and
reinstalling - that will be my next step unless you have otehr ideas?

Deleting the scheduled tasks and re-creating them is what I meant,
sorry I wasn't clearer.
