    Default Spybot 2 update issue

    So I installed Spybot 2 five days ago, and immediately started an update, it found 7 files that needed updating, and updated them with no problems. Fast forward to next Wednesday, I start the update (check status) again, it says "77 files up to date". I figure updates are late so today I try again, still nothing. I check the site, it says there are updates for Wednesday. I check the update log and it shows me:

    So as a last ditch effort I click on the "update" button, instead of the "check status" one and it says "77 files up to date", I check the log again and it has this added to it:

    Hello,

    "Check status" only tells you which files are up to date and if they have been downloaded correctly. "Update" actually offers new files and downloads them.

    Best regards

    Yes, but the problem is "check status" told me that all my files where "up to date" (even though they weren't).

    edit:It seems to me like the "check status" button doesn't do anything for some reason, clicking on it doesn't add anything to the log, whereas clicking on the "update" button adds this to the log:

    Hello Sarex,

    I had the same problem.
    I deleted all files in 2 dirs:

    Spybot - Search & Destroy 2\Updates\Downloads
    and
    Spybot - Search & Destroy 2\Updates\Extracts

    and now the update is working

    greetings,

    So yeah after deleting the "updates.uid" from the updates folder, check status works.

    Hope this gets fixed soon.

    Yes but the problem is, that it doesn't do it. It always reports that all the files are up to date (even when they are not), unless I delete the "updates.uid" file.
