Update problem

[GrkGuy]

I'm getting a message in spybot search and destroy saying "You need to install the detection updates first by using the integrated update or the manual updater."

I updated it before i got this message I go to do a scan and I get the above message.

Please help ;(

Hello,

Perhaps the updates were not downloaded correctly.
Before you run your first scan you need to install the detection updates first.

For more information on updating please have a look at this link on our website:

You can also download the updates manually:

Here is the direct download link.
Just download and run that file - it is self-installing.

Best regards

DLL's read-only

The updater is not being allowed to delete the old DLL files.

Which dlls have read-only attributes?

If you are using resident "SDHelper", the SDHelper.dll is used by both Windows Explorer (explorer.exe) and Windows Internet Explorer (iexplore.exe). If those programs are running you may not be able delete SDHelper.dll.
