network/internet connection

I've upgraded to SB160, however when I attempt to install on a system that has booted into safe mode - OR - a system that is not on a network (or connected to the internet), SB 160 refuses to do anything.

I do not remember this from SB141 and find it very odd. Maybe I missed something, but I think scanning off net and/or in safe mode is the way to go most times.

What's going on? What did I miss.

drx11, are you attempting to "Download Updates Immediately" during the Spybot-Search&Destroy installation setup?

There should be no problems with Spybot during installation, and no problems with it accessing the Internet either. Spybot-Search&Destroy will not access the Internet unless you instruct it to Update.
