Install & setup problem

[La Boop]

Hello, I'm new to Spybot. Just finished downloading. When I click on search I get an error that say's:

"You need to install the detection update first by using the integrated update or the manual updater".

I clicked on "update" and it said there were none. What am I doing wrong?
I really need this scan. I have lost the use of almost all links on websites and in emails. Pictures are not coming up on websites. All I get is white boxes and red X's. The worst is on ebay. I can't manuver at all.

Hope soneone can help me. Thanks

La Boop:

The "No newer updates available" should appear in a second or two if you were actually contacting the update server and there were in fact no updates to download. If it is taking about 30 seconds for the "No newer updates available" message to appear, then the attempt is probably timing out without connecting to the update server. Unfortunately Spybot 1.5 no longer returns Socket Error messages when you fail to connect. See:

If you have a firewall the updates in Spybot 1.5 are done using SDUpdate.exe not SpybotSD.exe as in the past. Therefore SDUpdate.exe must be authorized to access the internet through your firewall.

After authorizing SDUpdate.exe in your firewall, if you still can not update using the integrated update facility, you can update the includes files manually by downloading and executing the spybotsd_includes.exe file. The file is located on the following Web page:

• Downloads - The home of Spybot-S&D!
  http://www.spybot.info/en/download/index.html

The current download item is:

• Detection updates 2008-04-02 - product description
  md5: 86BA79B6F6D3801730C22F1E040B6A2D
  
  This updates the detection rules. Only needed if you do not want to use the update function integrated into Spybot-S&D.
