• Welcome Guest, to the Spybot Forums! It's 2025, and we just upgraded our forum software.

    Today is Safer Internet Day, and with our new forum, you can finally use passkeys to login. That was about time!

    Of course, you could ask if a forum is still useful, with so many social media networks out there where you might already have an account, and met a lot of users. You can now use your login from some of those networks to log in here. And by posting here, your question and data is stored on our servers and not automatically shared with a whole social media network.

    We'll also start using the forum for small bits of information, announcements and more again.

Guyz,

I'm installed spybot on one of my computer colleagues, but when i'm trying to update the spybot malware signature failed. The message shown " HTTP 1.1/502", their network is using a proxy server, i alreadet setup the spybot to use the proxy for updating.

Thanks.
 
Hello,

Please run Spybot - Search & Destroy and switch to the Advanced mode via the menu item Mode.
Now select 'Settings' - 'Settings' from the navigation bar on the left.
Locate the Use proxy entry in the Automation - Web update category, and activate it.

This information is also available in our How-To section (including a screenshot):
http://www.spybot.info/en/howto/proxy.html

2. Please check your firewall. Most people who do not have problem #1 do have Spybot-S&D accidentally blocked in their firewall.
Please make sure that these IP's are not blocked by your firewall:

security.kolla.de (update info file): 212.227.118.106
www.safer-networking.org (alternate for above): 212.227.253.104
www.see-cure.de (main updates currently): 80.190.250.239

3. If nothing else works, you can still use the manual updater, which is available on our website: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html - the Detection Update.
(Notice: if the Info page does not show the correct update date after installing the updates with the manual updater, please ignore that - this will be fixed with the next release)

Best regards
Sandra
