how often spybot 1.4 can get database updates?

**schrott** · 2006-01-09, 04:13

Hello,

I am running Spybot-S&D version 1.2 on a Win XP Pro machine. For the past year or so whenever I have started the program and tried to check for updates, I get the message that no updates are available. However, I find that difficult to believe since new spyware is being released all the time.'

So why does my copy of Spybot-S&D not download any updates and what can be done to fix this problem?

Thanks for your help

Spybot version 1.2 is very old,and isn't supported anymore,that's why you aren't getting any updates.Version 1.4 is available now.

If you want to completely get rid of Spybot-S&D 1.4 (also earlier versions) and the Add/Remove doesn't help, you can delete the installation folder (usually C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\), then download this very small fix and execute it (important! - this will remove all remains from the registry) (this also applies to earlier versions).

This is the text contained in the uninstall FAQ here: http://www.spybot.info/en/faq/27.html

However, the download ("small fix") is not an executable file. So how do I execute the REGEDIT code?

The Very Small Fix is a .reg file,so you can save it to the desktop,then doubleclick it.It will merge itself to the registry after you say yes to the prompt.

That's not a dumb question.
