    Default Antispyware update does not finish

    So I downloaded the free version. I clicked on download signatures (I use German version, so I try to translate). Now the bar is half green and it freezes on "File "spybotsd2-windows-upgrade-installer.exe" needs to be downloaded." What should I do now? I want to make a scan to remove this malware that deactivates my antivirus software and Windows Defender, but it seems I should have those signatures first. I use Vista and on the window it says that it has admin rights. Regards.

    So, now, 6 months later, why does this STILL not work properly when you first install clean software.

    Anyone on here responsible for fixing this issue ? Otherwise new users can't even run their first system scan
    and will go elsewhere.

    Hello blissweb,

    To clarify, because the topic title is 'Antispyware update does not finish'

    Did you receive the same message, "spybotsd2-windows-upgrade-installer.exe" needs to be downloaded."

    Best regards.
