Thanks Zenobia!

That's what I thought, but I thought that it was important to check first so that I hadn't missed something obvious.

Whereas Spybot automatically detects all the Firefox profiles that I've set up, it only detects the default profiles that I have for Chrome and Edge (Chrome based) and ignores all the other profiles....

I was just able to get this week's definitions for v1.6.2.

Nothing here either.

From memory there is a holiday around this time of year, so that may be the reason, and they'll be out today.

Windows Defender and Spybot v2.4 were working together for me on Windows 10 build 10162 (and earlier builds) up until about the time that the installer for Spybot v2.5 was placed on the desktop.

When I downloaded this week's updates for v1.6.2 I got a message encouraging me to upgrade to v2.4.

I can't get updates for v1.6.2.

There are updates for today listed at http://www.safer-networking.org/about/updates/ so it looks like something has gone wrong again.

Please could we have a response to this. Thanks.

I'd like to know about this too.

Could someone from Spybot please respond.

The manual update appears to have worked - when I check Spybot it shows that the definitions are now for 11 June 2014.

What have your investigations shown?

It's part of the installation process, it's not part of Spybot.

When I check with v1.6.2 it says that there are no updates available. Have you forgotten to provide those updates?
