    Default My spybot won't check for problems

    When I try to check for problems a message comes up 'You need to install the detection updates first by using the intergrated update or the manual updater. I have only downloaded spybot today and I have no idea how to do this?

    Please help :(

    Thanks in advance.

    Go into Spybot > Update > click the "Search for updates" button > check everything found > then click the "Download updates" button.

    Note: if you get a "Bad Checksum" error on any of the downloads, follow the instructions here:

    Default Similar issue, but with the ignore list

    I have a similar issue with not scanning for problems, but on further investigation, I don't have any items in my ignore problems list. I've successfully performed the updates, but there is nothing showing and scans take .13 seconds to complete! Help?
