299277 2004-12-02 22:44:00 XP SP2 ...following advice that new definitions were made available overnight. I checked for an update. Spybot howeveer reported no new update were available. Not to be detered I went to the Spybot site to find that new definitions had been released. Why then will mine not update ? Spybot version 1.3 Smurf (506)
299278 2004-12-02 22:57:00 Try now. I have 1.3 and the updates showed up ok. Glad you mentioned that there was an update available. :)

If it doesn't work, theres something fishy going on.

299279 2004-12-03 00:39:00 Do you connect to the net through a proxy? This must be manually configured in the Spybot settings section before it will work properly.

As for me, I don't have anything fishy on my line - the net is fine for me.

299282 2004-12-03 02:07:00 Have you checked your SP2 (and any other) firewall settings to allow Spybot through?

299283 2004-12-03 02:11:00 Did u check ALL servers to download it from?

Also, it might be coz u havent got 1.3.1 TX?? I dont know. This is the bug fixed version of Spybot.

299284 2004-12-03 07:14:00 Thank you for the replies. For your info. Spybot has been updating untill now. Firewall is not the problem and I do not connect to the net through a proxy. I have also installed 1.3.1 Tx exe and still it will not update Smurf (506)

299286 2004-12-03 08:03:00 I too have this problem and I have had it before. Although today I updated SpyBot successfully on the Win2K partition when I tried to do the same on the Win98se partition, (dual boot system therefore all hardware identical), was told no updates available, furthermore if I use the Aussie site I always get a checksum error but mostly not from the European sites unlike what most people seem to experience on the site PressF1.

Bet you tomorrow when I try again it will update as expected.
