After working on it for about 2 hours I was finally able to update my virus signatures.

I disabled live protection. I set my time forward a few days. Activated my VPN. Then I ran the updater as an administrator.

The updates started all downloading. The VPN is what made it so I can download the updates. So my advice to everyone that wants to update their virus signatures is to activate a VPN.

I spoke too soon! Now I can't even scan.

This is my screenshot.

Somebody was having problems updating their antivirus signatures today on the Spybot facebook page, and somebody from Spybot answered them, so I'll post their answer as a quote, and you could try what they posted as well. :)


Looks like the AV update was failing and all anti-virus signatures are missing... can you try a few times? It will cycle through different update servers then, in case one is not available...
