View Full Version : Update problem
I'm getting a message in spybot search and destroy saying "You need to install the detection updates first by using the integrated update or the manual updater."
I updated it before i got this message I go to do a scan and I get the above message.
Please help ;(

Hello,
Perhaps the updates were not downloaded correctly.
Before you run your first scan you need to install the detection updates first.
For more information on updating please have a look at this link on our website:
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/howto/update.html
You can also download the updates manually:

Here is the direct download link (http://www.spybotupdates.com/updates/files/spybotsd_includes.exe).
Just download and run that file - it is self-installing.
Best regards

Hopefully, I can get this up and running right... i'll keep you updated.

The updater is not being allowed to delete the old DLL files.
