    Unhappy Can't get updates of spybot - Pl. help

    I had installed Spybot S&D some months back and was very satisfied with it. However, a few days back, when I wanted to update, I started geting message "Error Retreieving update info file - socket error#10061- connection refused"

    I uninstalled spybot and have reinstalled it many times but the message persists. Can anyone help????

    Hello,

    Please take a look at the security settings of your firewall (if you are using one) and make sure that Spybot-S&D is not blocked. That should help to get into the updates. If Spybot-S&D is not blocked it is also possible that our server is temporarily not available. Please try again a few hours later.

    If this does not help please download the updates manually:
    http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html
    Here is the direct download link:
    http://www.spybotupdates.com/updates...d_includes.exe
    Just download and run that file - it is self-installing.

    Best regards
    Sandra
