Juandan:
I suggest that you try skipping the updates during the installation and do them after the installation completes so that you are not subject to any connection problems during the installation:
Download the installation program spybotsd152.exe from one of the mirror sites listed here:
Mirror selection - The home of Spybot-S&D!
http://www.spybot.info/en/mirrors/index.html
Execute spybotsd152.exe.
When you get to the "Select Components" screen during the installation, uncheck "Download updates immediately" (see attachment).
After the installation completes go into Spybot > Update to download updates.
Note: If you have a firewall the updates in Spybot 1.5 are done using SDUpdate.exe not SpybotSD.exe as in the past. Therefore SDUpdate.exe must be authorized to access the internet through your firewall.
Thanks for your help it worked a treat:)
when I tried to update, it said no newer updates available, so I clicked on check for problems, then I got a message you need to install the detection updates first by using the integrated update or the manual updater, I clicked on update again but got the same message no newer updates available. what do I do now:sad:
There are manual detection updates available here:
http://www.spybot.info/en/download/index.html
Detection updates 2008-02-06 - product description
md5: 133D3F3CDA0C76726F1F75306D367F13
This updates the detection rules. Only needed if you do not want to use the update function integrated into Spybot-S&D

After clicking "Search" on the "Spybot-S&D Updater" screen, how long did it take before the "No newer updates available" message appeared (1 second, 30 seconds, etc.)?
hi, It took 24 seconds before "No newer updates available"

Do you have a firewall? If so you must authorize the program SDUpdate.exe to access the internet through your firewall to do updates with the integrated update facility.
Thanks for your help I got the firewall sorted out, everything works great now thanks again, top man yourself
