[sia812000]

There are new items in Updates such as

Detection rules; Hijackers
: Dialers
; Keyloggers
: Malware
:PUPS ..... etc

I like to know, do we download all these detection rules each time we updates Spybot. Appreciate you prompt response, Thanks

Hi sia812000,

please have a look at this posting or this announcement of the 13. October 2006 at the News on Spybot S&D's website. There you can read under Servers upgraded & update size improved

... Also, beginning next week, the size of the weekly update files will be reduced as we're optimizing the process of downloading only changes. As a result of this, users using the advanced mode in Spybot-S&D will probably notice additional filesets; those ending in the letter C are new ones containing the most up-to-date detection rules.

As I understand this, the total size of the weekly updates will be from now on reduced, while we can see, in which categories something is updated.

Greetings
