Greetings,
Please could you advise me of a way of copying updates from one machine to another?
In my spare time I look after several computers for charities and always install Spybot on them. When they are returned to me as many often are I like to update them with the latest MS and other updates. As I only have a very slow dialup internet connection I tried to copy the Spybot S&D updates from one already updated computer to another. (C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Updates) The second computer tells me there are no newer updates available but it will not run a scan, telling me "You need to install the detection updates first by using the integrated update or the manual updater."
I had hoped there would be a simple adjustment to the files "online.ini" or "downloaded.ini" which would simulate the real download.
I searched the forum with the expression"copy+update+computer" and found several recommendations from Spybotsandra to download and install 'spybotsd_includes.exe'. I did this but it seems I still need to download many megabytes of updates to each machine that I attempt to update.
I would appreciate and advice or suggestions you could give me.
Many thanks for all your contributions to the forum which has already given me answers to other queries I had.
Best Wishes
