Thanks. We are not behind a proxy server however turning off the firewall seemed to do the trick. Can you tell me what ports Spybot is using so I can open up the access.

Thanks again for the quick response. Your product is extremely good.

To the best of my knowledge the communication is http via Port 80. In most firewalls you have to authorize SpybotSD.exe to access the internet.
