Spybot 1.6 won't connect to server

[racegtst]

Hi,

I am trying to instal the software and it will not connect to the server. Am i doing something wrong?

I am a bit of a dummy when it comes to computers so any help would be great.

thanks

The problem seems to be caused by certain firewalls blocking access to the internet without notification. The solution to this problem is to skip trying to updating during the installation and update after the installation, making sure that you authorize program SDUpdate.exe to access the internet via your firewall.
