Can not get my spybot to update?

Mar 8, 2004 1:17AM PST

When I go to update my spybot it will not respond?

Or I will get a red circle with a line through it.

What is up with spybot updates?

As you click on "update" in spybot and it shows there is an update - next to it you will see "UniDo.Europe" with a tiny arrow - click on the arrow and you will get more servers to download from - click on EON.Australia and you will get the update.

Victoria,

You may have hit upon a problem site with the default download site.

When you check and note there are updates to be downloaded, choose a different location. For instance, the third item there (to the right of Download updates) hit the drop-down and select, for instance, EON (Australia) and then click to Download updates.

Some sites respond better than others.

Hope it helps,
Ron
