Has anyone running Spybot Free got any definition updates this week?
I've run the updater a number of times and Spybot says that I'm up to date, but when I check the details, the last updates were added on 6 April 2022.
Thanks

Hello drghughes,

Best,

Thanks tashi!
Does that mean that we're seeing a reduction in the flow of malware? :laugh:
:laugh::funny:
No updates again this week.
I just checked https://twitter.com/SpybotSD where the weekly updates are normally announced and there is no announcement for this week or last week.
Does anyone know what is going on?
We have encountered some problems with our update servers for the free version, we are currently at it and hope to be done today. Thank you for your patience.
Updates are released and posts can be found in our social media channels. Stay safe everyone!
Thanks m/f!
I've been able to get most updates, but Malware-C.sbi seems to be a problem as I'm repeatedly getting this error:

I've now been able to download all the definition updates, so looks like everything is back to normal.
Thank you everyone for your feedback. The unexpected hash error is something that can happen when the file has not been downloaded correctly. Usually updating again after a few minutes solves this problem.
