267158 2004-09-01 05:59:00 Yes I cannot get the update either. Normally works but it is just saying no updates available using the in built Spybot update.

Damn, a repeat of the last time on the 22nd, when I had to try about ten times before finally it said there was an update. The other problem is that often the update downloads and then there is a check sum error.

Something, somewhere needs some work.

Bugger, you'll have Hooray again Tony. Got the same problem, and mines set to beta as well, hmm, yours set to look for beta's by any chance you two? Downloaded 2 regular and a beta the other week, is it possible that if the beta hasn't changed in any way to the release version it's smart enough to say no updates required but not smart enough to update the log?? Maybe I should look at my log, perhaps, possibly this would be helpful in some way in establishing exactly what I have , yes I think I'll RTFL ;)

267162 2004-09-01 07:23:00 hi, I used spybots search for an update function which connected automatically to get the latest detection updates about 441kb's I think. not really sure of the address of the site tho.

hope this helps

267163 2004-09-01 09:30:00 If I set my updates to look for beta versions, it comes back saying there is a beta version of Spybot (5meg approx) and definitions (47k) available, I tried downloading the definitions and they came up with checksum errors three times.

I'm going to leave it for a while, I don't want to run beta software.

267164 2004-09-05 23:35:00 My Spybot is still stuck on Aug 20. Have any of you who were stuck before now managed to get the 30 Aug update ? If so, did you do anything different ? And who else is still stuck ?

Cheers Tony

267165 2004-09-06 08:59:00 But just now, for about the nth time, I uninstalled and reinstalled Spybot. Then went for the update, and got 30 Aug. Inexplicable !! Did nothing different from earlier efforts.
