Install failure running spybotsd162.exe

[familyhound]

I tried to install Spybot S&D today. When I got to the point of clicking the Install button the "Download" dialog bog and then a pop-up dialog opened with the message "A connection to the server could not be established.

I tried this several times today and still get the same error. Is there a problem with the down load server?

The underlying "File Download" box shows the program was trying to connect to the address 127.0.0.1.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,

During the installation Spybot tries to download the updates.
You can disable this function in the wizard itself.
Just untick the checkbox in front of "download updates during installation" or "Download Updates immediately".
The updates can be downloaded later on.

For more information on updating please have a look at this link (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/howto/update.html) on our website.
You can also download the updates manually (http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html).
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.
