    Default Update appears to be stuck

    I replaced my hard drive in October. I downloaded the Free SPybot 2.4 last night and ran the updater. The updater (updating definitions) has been running since 5:00 PM MST last night it is not 7:41 AM MST. It is still displaying [02:44.193] [+] File "spybotsd2-windows-upgrade-installer.exe" needs to be downloaded.

    I have terminated the operation pending insight from the group.

    Thank you in advance

    John

    I had the same problem( running win 10), so i just followed the link below and installed it. then I went back to where I was stuck, and after the install, selected update, and everything ran smoothly. I'm doing my first system scan as I type.

    Hope this works for you.
