Can't Update Spybot

[Guessisking]

Hi!
I can't update the newest version of Spybot. When I try to update, it says there are no new updates, but when I try to scan, it says it can't because there are no detection updates/rules.
Please help me.

The "No newer updates available" should appear in a second or two if you were actually contacting the update server and there were in fact no updates to download. If it is taking about 30 seconds for the "No newer updates available" message to appear, then the attempt is probably timing out without connecting to the update server. Unfortunately Spybot 1.5 no longer returns Socket Error messages when you fail to connect. See:

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.

After authorizing SDUpdate.exe in your firewall, if you still can not update using the integrated update facility, you can update the includes files manually by downloading and executing the spybotsd_includes.exe (http://www.spybotupdates.com/updates/files/spybotsd_includes.exe) file. The file is located on the following Web page:
Downloads - The home of Spybot-S&D!
http://www.spybot.info/en/download/index.html
The current download item is:
Detection updates 2008-03-12 - product description
md5: DF4B885F90CCBC2B3BDBD8A237DD459F

This updates the detection rules. Only needed if you do not want to use the update function integrated into Spybot-S&D.
