Thanks

Can you explain further?
It sound as if you are manually downloading and installing the spybotsd_includes.exe file (Detection updates yyyy-mm-dd) from the Downloads - The home of Spybot-S&D! and then doing an integrated update within Spybot-S&D.
Is that true?
If that is that case the download from the Downloads - The home of Spybot-S&D! is an external change and is not recognized by the integrated update facility within Spybot-S&D. In other words the two update methodologies do not work together. The Downloads - The home of Spybot-S&D! Web page indicates:
If you are in fact doing both types of updates, note the statement in the spybotsd_includes.exe download:Quote:
Detection updates yyyy-mm-dd - product description
md5: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This updates the detection rules. Only needed if you do not want to use the update function integrated into Spybot-S&D.

Yes I was downloading the includes files and then using the integrated updates in case there was any I missed. I thought not all are in the includes. Are you saying one is enough Can I just download and install manually, the reason I prefer that is I then have the update backed up in case I crash
Thanks for answering this much appreciated
That statement is not entirely true. For example the updates for 2007-07-25 using the integrated update facility included the following updates:
- English descriptions - English target descriptions file (215 KB) - 2007-07-25
- Immunization database - !Updated Immunization database (546 KB) - 2007-07-25
Those updates updated the Targets.nfo and CLSIDs.sbs files which are not included in the files updated by manually downloading and executing the spybotsd_includes.exe file for 2007-07-25.
