    Default trouble installing spybot

    I keep getting a message saying error sending request. The server name or address could not be resolved.

    I am trying to install it to help stop google pages redirecting.

    The problem seems to be caused by certain firewalls blocking access to the internet without notification. The solution to this problem in the past has been to skip trying to updating during the installation and update after the installation, making sure that you authorize program SDUpdate.exe to access the internet via your firewall.

    Please read my suggestion in post #5 of this thread:

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
