i have a new update
Is it a real one this time or false alarm and for another product ?
EDIT:
I just did search for updates and it didn't find any ?
You got some explaining to do now !!!
I just dn/loaded it from SpyBot. Yes,it 'is' real and tagged as 'important'...
thanks frebo...:)
That was strange! I had an update waiting (it said "IMPORTANT UPDATE"), but when I downloaded it, a black command prompt window opened for a second and the program closed. When I opened it again and checked again for an update, it said that there were no new updates available.
belive me now nix, i was sure glad somebody else found. i couldnt handle that again.
Mine still says there's nothing.
What language are you using ?
southern english
Looked at the log and see it checks this ini file http://security.kolla.de/updates/spybotsd.ini
which upon d/l appears to have some updates in it.
some skins, a bosnian translation, a beta and the important update.
I can't get my system to pick up any.
Maybe mys settings are wrong.
Under Settings, Web Update nothing si ticked other then use proxy - should I have more ?
DuaneB.. that DOS window was the installation process for that download. Once it was installed then there was nothing else to download. :)
Thanks. I seem to be up-to-date, but I don't remember seeing the Command Prompt window open and close like that with previous updates.
How do I tell If I'm up to date or not ?
Not that it detects any files anyway, but I'm curious ?
There is an important spybot update....Nix....you might want to update your spybot version....make sure you have the lastest or it will not pick up the latest definition updates.
I'm using version 1.2.
In the help about it tells me Monday 24th November was the last update.
After checking for the latest Update, a "View Log" icon will appear at the top of your window. Scroll to near the bottom. The longest lines are the ones that show updates and the date downloaded.
If you got the update, the bottom of your log file should look like this:

All this log file shows is VERY frequent checks for new updates, but no new updates downloaded or installed.
Go back to my first post and look at the log file carefully. It will show what has been installed and where it has been installed.
That's what I'm saying the last update I had was 24th November and all subsequent checks since then, listed above have resulted in nothing.Quote:

Are the updates for NT ?
Is spybot OS specific ?
Do they have a support forum ?
Strangely if you go to the spybot home page http://www.safer-networking.org/ the last update listed there is November 24th ??
So what are you all getting that's dated 17th December I wonder ?
But on this page http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download there is a Tools Update that says it's only needed if you don't use the integrated update ??

Unless you all who got the update are using beta.
