Can't Get Any Updates

[tashi]

Hello.

So it doesn't get confusing we should stay with the one topic for the moment.

Hi tashi

I told Calamity Jane, that we would stay with the one topic, at the moment.

I linked to the topic where Calamity Jane was assisting you, as she had asked you to fix those items in hjt to see if that helped. I would like to know too.


Also please open Spybot>Help>About
Let us know the version and latest detection update.

I removed the "orphan" entries. It did not help.

I did not remove the proxy entries, because that is when you told me to stick to one issue.

CalamityJane, has archived that thread.

The version is: 1.4
Latest Detection update: 2006-05-12

Does that mean I got a manual download update?
I was warned to not open that file, and I didn't.

It is still acting as it was in my first post.

If you did not download and install the latest definitions manually, then you got them through the integrated updater.

Either way you are up-to-date.

Do you have a high speed internet connection such as DSL?

Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced mode > Settings > Settings > 2/3 of the way down the options tree there is a group of option settings title "Web update". Which of the following options do you have checked?

• Web update
  □ Search the web for new versions at each program start
  □ Download updated include files if available online
  □ Remind me to look for updates at program start
  □ Display available beta versions
  □ Display updates for other languages
  □ Display new and updated skins
  □ Display PGP signature updates
  □ Use proxy to connect to update server

I have the following checked.



Web update
□ Search the web for new versions at each program start

So in reality you've probably been getting updates all along. Double check by going into Spybot > Update (left pane) > on the Update screen click the "Show log" button (right pane) > then scroll to the bottom of the list.

"So in reality you've probably been getting updates all along".

It is up to date to the minute, so apparently it has been updating, but not in it's usual manner.

I can live with that, now that I know where to look for these things.

Thanks for your help.

... apparently it has been updating, but not in it's usual manner.

That is because you went into Advanced mode and checked the following options:

• Web update
  ■ Search the web for new versions at each program start.
  ■ Download updated include files if available online.
