Hello,
Did you click on "Update" and not just on "Check Status"?
"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.
This has also been discussed in our forum:
Spybot 2 update issue
Further did you open the Updater with a right click and choose
"run as administrator"?
If this does not help please try to download the manual updates which can be found
here.
Make sure you store them in the Spybot program folder:
Windows XP: C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy 2
Windows Vista or Windows 7 or Windows 8: C:\Programs (x86)\Spybot - Search & Destroy 2
Best regards
