Hello. Not so sure ZA is at fault. I am experiencing same problem with 1.6 and I have never installed ZA on my machine.
Smily, do you use a firewall? If so what brand? Have you allowed the Spybot-SD updater to access the Internet?
Sorry, I suppose the details would be helpful
OS - Vista Home Premium
Firewall - Vista built in. Have enabled everything under exception list mentioning Spybot.
Did have Comodo Firewall installed but have removed it.
Same problem though. When try to do install with immediate updates checked it fails with same error message. So ok, install w/out immediate updates and do them after right? NOPE. still fails.
have not yet done the manual updates though.
Do you get the same error message as well,when checking for updates after Spybot is installed?
after is installed and perform updates I get immediate error message box with Error retrieving update info file!
It will not update at all. has me scratching my head because previous version 1.5.2 worked flawlessly
Do you need to use a proxy to access the Internet?Please see here,and let me know if it applies:

thanks, but, no. no proxy needed.
Alright,I'd suggest installing the manual updates for this week for now,if you haven't already:

This might tell me exactly nothing,but it's worth a shot.Could you please post a startup list?Instructions here:Detection updates 2008-08-06 - product description
md5: A2366F130677C8C105E5B36BA010E3B7
This updates the detection rules. Only needed if you do not want to use the update function integrated into Spybot-S&D

Thanks.
The error retrieving update info file box,that pops up immediately,on the screen?
You're not getting a bad checksum box beside the updates within Spybot,are you?
