    Hello RBEmerson,

    Sorry to hear of the problem, could you provide more information please.

    The operating system and if this is a new installation of Spybot or not.

    Best regards.

    Win 10 Home - Ver. 1607 - Build 14393.447

    The problem originated with an otherwise updated SB 2.4, and again after it was uninstalled and re-installed. Using the original installation, I tried attempting updates over several days. There was no change to the problem. Deleting and re-installing SB 2.4 didn't change the problem, either. In short, a hard fail, as shown in OP, on AV updates.

    No luck. I don't use a proxy server, so there's nothing to be gained with that. This a classic case of "it used to work, now it doesn't". Run Admin didn't help, either.
    It's important to know when to stop arguing with people, and just let them be wrong.

    I sent a note to support. I'll be on the road tomorrow (GMT-5), so it may be a bit before the issue is sorted out.
