Thanks in Advance

Is does not appear that there is a solution yet.

If you are unable to get the updates using the integrated update facility, you can manually download and execute an update file from safer-networking.org:
Downloads – Home of Spybot-S&D!
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html
Detection updates 2005-12-09 - product description
md5: 37716E587907ADD1C25F39FC6591147E

This updates the detection rules. Only needed if you do not want to use the update function integrated into Spybot-S&D.

The direct link is:
http://www.spybotupdates.com/updates/files/spybotsd_includes.exe
This manual update file is updated around the same time that the updates are made available via the integrated update facility. The description changes on the download page but the download url remains constant.

Okay thanks tho I already D/L that and if I check for updates after installing it is still showing updates. I see this is an issue Im thinking it may have to do with Visual Styles as I recently changed the look of my desktop. Might be worth looking into
