I uninstalled the old version and tried to install version 1.2.5.0
but when it tries to install I an error message saying, error sending request, a connection with the server could not be established, I tried installing from other sites but I get the same problem
I suggest that you try skipping the updates during the installation and do them after the installation completes so that you are not subject to any connection problems during the installation:
Download the installation program spybotsd152.exe from one of the mirror sites listed here:
When you get to the "Select Components" screen during the installation, uncheck "Download updates immediately" (see attachment).
After the installation completes go into Spybot > Update to download updates.
Note: If you have a firewall the updates in Spybot 1.5 are done using SDUpdate.exe not SpybotSD.exe as in the past. Therefore SDUpdate.exe must be authorized to access the internet through your firewall.
when I tried to update, it said no newer updates available, so I clicked on check for problems, then I got a message you need to install the detection updates first by using the integrated update or the manual updater, I clicked on update again but got the same message no newer updates available. what do I do now:sad:
Detection updates 2008-02-06 - product description
md5: 133D3F3CDA0C76726F1F75306D367F13
This updates the detection rules. Only needed if you do not want to use the update function integrated into Spybot-S&D
After clicking "Search" on the "Spybot-S&D Updater" screen, how long did it take before the "No newer updates available" message appeared (1 second, 30 seconds, etc.)?
Do you have a firewall? If so you must authorize the program SDUpdate.exe to access the internet through your firewall to do updates with the integrated update facility.
