For some reason F/P Fixes

Minor Update to Avoid Possible F/P

puts a red X says at the end when it can not download says its a "Bad Cchecksum" is there anybody else having this problem...I have try 3 times
each time it saids the same thing....any help on this is greatful..
 
Try again with other server.

I have the same problem, I try with other server and finally all it's ok.

I think that you have update very soon and not all the server are sincronized at this time.

Sorry for my English.
 
Yup, there’s a problem with it (perhaps it has something to do with the slash in the name—although it’s not in the filename).

What you can do in the meantime is to manually download the file and put it in Spybot’s Updates folder, then run the updater. It will detect the file and install it.
 
I don't know how to do that I am a older man and don't know how...do you think it will be fix that is the only one I can not download....Thanks

That’s a bug in a recent update (not the false positive fix). There’s a post about it.

  1. Close Spybot
  2. Click on the “the file” part of my previous post (it’s a hyperlink)
  3. Save it to Spybot’s Updates folder (the default is C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Updates)
  4. Run Spybot and do an update
If it does not work out, don’t worry. You can just wait until the bug is fixed. It only matters if you happen to do a scan which and only if it just happens to include one of the false positives in question. If you’re not doing a scan before the next update, it won’t matter at all. If you do, then just double-check any hits the scanner gives before deleting them, and if in doubt, don’t delete it and check here.
 
Hi,

The best I will do see later today if they fix it...and just wait maybe they will be aware of it and they are working on it...If not I will try to download it to my desktop and unzip it from my desktop
Thanks

Actually, don’t extract it, just save the ZIP file (fpfix.zip) to the Updates directory and run the updater. It will detect the zip file and extract it for you (after doing its checks since one or more files in there may or may not be needed).
 
Hi Synetech,

Would it be better to wait for a fix on it or not....

and if I do need to download it should I save it to my update in *Search and Destroy* Folder....I use Firefox has my browser....I am trying to learn what to do sorry in asking so many questions Thank you

They’ll fix it soon enough, so unless you intend to do a scan today and expect to get the false-positives that are fixed in the update (you probably won’t get them), then there’s no need to rush.

If you want to try to manually update just for the sake of being as up-to-date as possible, or for the sake of learning computers a little more, then:
  1. Click this link: fpfix.zip.
  2. Select Save to Disk and click OK
  3. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Updates
  4. Click Save
  5. Run Spybot
  6. Run the Updater
  7. Select (check) the F/P fix and click Download
It should now register that the fix is applied and using the updater again should say that there are no more updates available.

HTH

No problem. Asking questions is the easiest way to learn. :cool:

I just noticed that there are several copies of the fpfix.zip file in my %temp% directory with random names (eg xjqs936y.zip, ghvqb123.zip, etc.), so it is indeed being downloaded but getting “lost”.
 
Synetech:

How are you associating the files "xjqs936y.zip, ghvqb123.zip, etc." that you found with Spybot's fpfix.zip download?
 
I opened one and saw that it contained the files in fpfix.zip (FPFix.sbs and AdvWhite.sbs), then compared them and found them to be binary-identical to fpfix.zip.


It seems to be fixed now. Thanks.
