How to get auto update to work ??

Hi,

I'm pretty sure someone would have asked this and might be answered before but I just found this forum layout too complicated and couldn't find a past thread on the subject..

Q: Spybot 1.5, I tried checking the proxy tab and selected use IE7 proxy settings for auto update, now my pc doesn't use any proxy setting and I get no auto updates... how do I get this feature to work pls??

Spybot 1.4 was easy and fast .... whats slowing down 1.5?? it even takes ages to load up ( at program start)

To set up access to Spybot's integrated update facility through a proxy server:

• Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Settings.
• About 2/3 of the way down the option tree there is a category "Web update". Under "Web update" check the last item in the list, "Use proxy to connect to update server".
• A pop-up will come up were you can enter the information required.

re: Slow start: What version of Spybot - Search & Destroy are you running (Spybot > Help > About)?

thanks but that didn't answer my question .... your suggestions are exactly what I have been doing anyway... and I have clearly mentioned I use the latest version of Spybot 1.5 and not the Beta version.
