    *cough, since when were you this thoughtful? I never bothered to wake up early.

    I don't want to hijack this thread, so I'll remain dormant until another query comes up.

    Default Not sure if ZA is the culprit

    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.

    Alright,I'd suggest installing the manual updates for this week for now,if you haven't already:
    http://www.spybot.info/en/download/index.html
    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
    This might tell me exactly nothing,but it's worth a shot.Could you please post a startup list?Instructions here:
    http://www.safer-networking.org/en/howto/startup.html
    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?
