Hi,

I had a similar problem installing Spybot S&D so I had to un-check Download automatic updates in order to install.

How do I make Spybot look for updates now automatically when I log on?

Thank you.
 
Easy!

First, open spybot. :) then go into advanced mode by clicking mode-advanced mode. Click yes. Then click settings, and scroll down under settings option, where it says web update, check the box for search the web for new versions at each program start.This way, every time spybot starts, It will automatically download the newest updates. Also check-download updated included files when available online. There you go, hope that helps!
