    Default Need help installing Spybot SD

    Hi,

    I'm having a problem installing Spybot on my computer. I get an error message during the install when it goes to download files...

    "Error opening http://www.safer-networking.org/updallocator.php.
    The server returned status code 403."

    I've never had this problem before, and I've used SD on different computers.

    Please let me know what to do.

    thx!

    sfskater88:

    The link provided by spybotsandra is an old link (January 2008) and will not install the latest version of Spybot.

    For Spybot 1.6 download spybotsd160.exe to your system and then execute the file.

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.


    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.

    Turn off the "Download Updates during Installation" option when installing then update when the installation has finished.
    If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
