Help - New Spybot install refused to update
Hi I have just installed spy bot but it refuses to update properly and gives the following results. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Similar, but completely different...
After new install of 2.4.40.0 on Win XP (just back online after a few years), all works great except Update hangs. Hit Update, get a little quick action on the activity bar, then nothing...just sits. Network monitor shows nothing moving. Update log shows numerous "so-and-so missing and will be installed on next update messages." Start Center shows "No update attempt registered."
I was able to do the manual update as described above last Tuesday I think, and waited until today to try the std method again, but no joy.
Not a big deal, since I can update each week manually. Plus, old software. Still, if anyone's interested...
All The Best, P.
