    I live in Europe and I have tried a lot of different servers. Most servers are European but I'm unsure if I have only tried European servers until now.

    Right now I try an American server, I chose the one named SecurityWonks.net #3. And it is working! I can't test the other American servers now because I'm already updated. But at least one works.

    Ah. Later today should get the weekly updates for you to retry. Hmm, I wonder why American servers don't work. I find it funny we're using opposite servers to make updating work.

    I updated now, I used the German server "ComputerBild.de #1". It was the first server I tried today and it worked.

    I tried an American server yesterday. My C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Logs\Update downloads.log file said:
