I use Spybot 1.6.2 on Windows 7. Yesterday I wanted to update but, there is a message No new updates.
Let's see. The latest updates would have came out on Wednesday. So, if you had updated on that day, those are the latest available. :)
If you didn't update then, and got no new updates yesterday, then you could download and install the manual detection updates instead, if you wish. Those are available here:
https://www.safer-networking.org/dl/
Manual detection updates for Spybot – Search & Destroy®, MD5 sum: 799AFFB6BB7719DC432C9A5ABEB6A456
On Windows 7, the manual updates should be installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Spybot – Search & Destroy, most likely.

I uninstall Spybot and install new (and delete the Spybot Folder) and he says no new update. But ok i download manual detection updates.
Okay, good ,glad you're getting the manual updates. :)
Yes, since you downloaded new and deleted the Spybot folder, then it should have given you updates.
The only thing I could find for Spybot 1.6.2 that seems to fit is this:
https://www.safer-networking.org/faq/why-is-the-integrated-update-not-working/
But that's probably not the problem if you've had Spybot installed for a while.
A few years back, Spybot 1.6.2 users weren't getting updates for a bit:

The updates should be released this Wednesday. Could you wait until then and try another update?
If you don't get new updates Wednesday, you could either open a support ticket and tell them:
https://www.safer-networking.org/support/ticket/
Or, you could open a new thread on this forum and say there are no newer updates this week, and there were no updates last week either. (the reason for a new thread is because I have posted in this one, and if you open a new one Wednesday it will be likelier to be seen.)
Hi derking708,
there was an error in the updates. A file was corrupted. This has now been corrected and updates should be available again. Thank you for your hint.
