Error Occurred During Antispyware Updates

[Candy Iowa]

I get an error message that says:

An error occurred during antispyware updates!

It also says I have no internet connection. This is clearly wrong, because I am writing to you on said computer. What can I do to take care of this problem? Thanks.

Looks like your hash number isn't what it's expected to be on some of the updates.I've had that in my logfile before,I'm not sure why it happens,but it seems to correct itself over time.It does show 3 updates were installed.Try updating again,and see what happens. :)

[cootmaster]

ya umm i tried the exe install
i guess it installed BUT it kept giving error over over
FINALLY took
if i put exe in why did say update available
or was exe updated installed

all good now
next time i put exe in is it actually in?

[Zenobia]

If the .exe was the manual updates,then you have to make sure they are installed to your Spybot folder,which typically is at either C:\Program Files (x86)\Spybot - Search & Destroy 2 or C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy 2,depending on whether your operating system is 32 or 64-bit.You click browse,then go to the Spybot folder from there.

The manual updates won't show in the update logfile,though if you check for updates through Spybot after that,it should say Spybot is up to date.

[cootmaster]

ya it still flagged it as needs updating w the flag
and then after finally updating flag turned green after trying uipdate few times

thx

[Zenobia]

Okay,if it turned green,it's probably fine now. :)
