Thank you Sandra. I just did as you suggested but I having the same resulted. The computer I am talking about is a-stand-along-computer and it does not has Internet connection. Since, I download the SS&D and try to run it.

Sound like the reason of having/ having not Internet connection is the cause of this issue. Am I wrong?

thanks

After unchecked the box "check for updates immediately" i was able to install SS&B. However, I have not be able to run the program and using the 'check for problem' button.

We get a error: "You need to installed the detention updates first by using the integrated update or the manual update"

(Remember: These is a stand-along computer and does have Internet connection)

After press the button it say " No newer updates available"

Hello,

Before you run your first scan you need to install the detection updates first.

The problem seems to be caused by certain firewalls blocking access to the internet without notification. The solution to this problem is to skip trying to updating during the installation and update after the installation, making sure that you authorize program SDUpdate.exe to access the internet via your firewall.

I,m currently on asus eee pc netbook. Downloaded spybot and malwarebytes from cnet and at the end of the set ups the same error came up "the server or address could not be resolved" came up, so I read the other thread indicating that I should download spybot through safer-networking but it wont let me in the home screen or download screen this the only section of safer-networking that does tell that it cant find that link or that the link is broken help please the rest of the netbook is inaccessible hoping if I can get spybot back or malware bytes I can fix the problem

Hello,

During the installation Spybot tries to download the updates.
You can disable this function in the wizard itself.
Just untick the check box in front of "download updates during installation" or "Download Updates immediately".
The updates can be downloaded later on.

For more information on updating please have a look at this link (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/howto/update.html) on our website.
You can also download the updates manually (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html).
Here (http://www.spybotupdates.com/updates/files/spybotsd_includes.exe) is the direct download link.
Just download and run that file - it is self-installing.

I downloaded the spybot and when I try to start but it stops in the beginning when it starts to load. I believe the computer or virus is seeing that it is spybot and stops it. The same thing happens when I try to start Malwarebytes. I also cannot get into safer-networking.org home or download or support page or the Malwarebytes home page. I did download spybot from safer-networking.org on my home computer onto a flash drive. Connected the flashdrive to the netbook and tried to run spybot off of the flash drive but get the same results
