Need to install detection updates by using integrated update...

[Rgill]

My kids were messing around with the computer and I believe they removed spybot S&D from our computer. When I went to reinstall, it seemed to work, but now when I try to run "check for problems" I'm getting an error message that reads "You need to install the detection updates by using the intergrated update or the manual updater." What am I supposed to do?

Hello,

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

For more information on updating please have a look at this link on our website:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/howto/update.html
You can also download the updates manually:

Here is the direct download link (http://www.spybotupdates.com/updates/files/spybotsd_includes.exe).
Just download and run that file - it is self-installing.

It seemed to run ok - do I need to restart or anything?

Hello,

No it should be working right after the install. :)

I uninstalled, reinstalled and ran the integrated update seperately after the installation. Spybot is now working.
