I am getting this exact same problem.
Therefore Spybot cannot run its' daily update or check (I have check for updates at startup selected), and is therefore crippled and useless.

Hi mooman,
I guess you have installed Spybot 1.6.2.46 oder 1.6.0.30...
If your updater doesn't work, then you should try a complete un-install of Spybot. After that, reboot your computer and install a fresh 1.6.2.46 version.
I always recommend to un-install and old version of every security tool before installing the new one.
Best regards,

I too keep getting that, but, apparently only on THIS machine, The list seems to come up but just flashes by. At least there is a window that flashes by. The XP machine behind me is not giving me that error and appears to be updating., as does the Windows 7 test machine, and the other XP Machine. I dont know yet about the other Vista machine, It is currently reinstalling due to an update it seems I completely uninstalled, rebooted, and then reinstalled but while it updated during install, it now will not. I can manually update though.
I have 2 computers that won't update. Even my iPhone won't go onto the spybot website. But when I turn the wifi off on my iPhone I can go onto the site. I have a dlink wireless router and I believe that's where the problem lies.
