Hello, all:

First time post. Please bear w/ me.

Is it possible to install spybot on a computer that has its internet connection disabled? I've placed the installation binary on the box and the installation fails when it tries to resolve www.safer-networking.org's address. Any way to bypass this and simply do a localized install? :sad:

- thx

Hello,

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

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.

Best regards
