Updating Spybot 1.6 crashes my computer.

I installed Spbot 1.6 a few weeks or more ago, did a scan, and it worked fine. Now it will not allow me to get any updates. It tells me there was an illegal operation and then the computer won't do anything; I have to turn it off and back on. I reinstalled 1.6 today and have the same problem -- not allowed to update; says program has performed an illegal operation. I have Win 98.

(Also, I am very naive about forums and if I am not posting correctly, please let me know and tell me what I should be doing and I'll do my best to comply.)

Thanks!

You could download the updates manually,if not able to download through the program.

Latest manual detection updates should be this:

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