    Update:
    It depends if you use the AV-Engime of Spybot (Home Version or above) or not.
    If you use it, you should update atleast 1 time per day, better more ofthen. If you use the Free-Version its good enough if you update 1 time in a week

    Scan:
    this i would say, depends on your computer-usage. if you ofthen download Software or visit risky websites or if you use online-banking, you should scan every day, else 2 times per week should be fine.

    ya ummm i posted about the updates then came back and couldnt edit
    so i opened a scan thread :P

    it sounds like unlike 1x i usually UPDATE WED when its released and scan
    and scan IF something looks like it installed suspiciously.
    UPDATES:

    no i DO NOT have your AV i have norton
    so according to this 1x week is good like wed way 1x was.
    i used do ALL DEEP SCANNING on Fridays because end of week and moved it to wed, but now SBSD AND MALWAREBYTES update few times a day, also
    i think ill also run updates for SB and MWB MORNING when i wake 2-4p and night.

    SCAN
    no i dont dl off risky sites BUT i do online banking
    again w 1x it WAS FRI then moved to wed because of wed releases
    but now its more times i would do it 2x a week
    WED :mid week SAT because WED to wed SAT is MIDDLE
    id also scan if something looks suspicious

    TY :D

    If you use it, you should update atleast 1 time per day, better more ofthen. If you use the Free-Version its good enough if you update 1 time in a week

    Yes, as I have already explained here and here and now here again.

    Please do not post at several places with the same problem as this just doubles our support time!
    THANKS!

    It should be pretty self-explaining:

    It reads that it is downloading updates, processing them and closing with "The antispyware signatures are up to date."
    So there were no new updates.

    There are only updates once a week, usually on Wednesdays.
    And then there is ONE update.
    If the update is available it would look like this:
