As of this writing, the Definition version on
<http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/ADL.aspx> varies between
1.35.724.0 (doesn't work) and 1.35.744.0 (does work), probably because
all load balancing servers haven't yet been updated to the later
corrected version, so be sure to check the version before downloading.
