Hello,

You will find links to several download locations on our website.
These mirrors are partners who provide places to host Spybot-S&D for us.
You can download from one of them, it's secure and they all contain the same data:

Or choose the direct installation file:

i downloaded spybotsd162.exe ok.
Along with this has come another file called downloads.sqlite. Gone to b335fjj7.default folder. If this is ok ill run the setup.

ok well i searched for downloads.sqlite on google. I found this is a mozilla feature, to keep download history in downloads.sqlite, so it makes a downloads.sqlite file when you download something, if it wasnt there before.

Now new question. When i checked the digital signature to verify publisher was you, it went to show it expired in september last year.

Hello Todd,

That certificate itself has indeed expired last year, and we already
have a new one.

Certificates are always issued for short timeframes for security
reasons. To assure that files do not suddenly "get unsigned" when a
certificate expires, we use the VeriSign timestamping service. Using a
timestamping service, one can include the information when exactly a
file was signed, and as long as it was signed while the certificate was
valid, the files signature is still valid, even if the certificate has
expired. That's not a "trick", it's the "official" method of signing
files. ;)

Best regards
Sandra

That's a good question. :funny:
Sorry, seem to have mixed the names with another post that I was answering at the same time.
Looks like womens are not so talented in multitasking like they pretend to be. :D:
