| 267166 | 2004-09-06 10:59:00 | Maybe easier just to manually download from here : www.safer-networking.org each time it updates? | Randolf (75) | ||
| 267167 | 2004-09-06 11:10:00 | That was not there a couple of days ago. Various readers found that they could not get the 30 Aug update, for no good reason, when others could. The problem remains.... Cheers Tonyf |

| 267168 | 2004-09-06 11:52:00 | Tony: I'm also on 98SE. I get my updates from Spybot's own buttons for that on my machine (Search for Updates/ Download Updates) - nothing more complicated like having to go to the website or mirrors or whatever. ( In fact. I've been mystified why other people do that. Comes of being a newbie, no doubt. Maybe someone will enlighten me why they download from MajorGeeks or somesuch when the programme itself will do it? There must be a reason) Anyway, although I can't answer your question, here's what I've noticed recently... I did download the August 20 update successfully, but as it didn't show in my Spybot info immediately (was in the text list of actions, though) I thought I hadn't got it. Then it just "appeared" a few hours later. A similar thing happened with the August 30 update. That time I went in & out of the programme several times waiting for it - but zilch. I simply gave up then - but it was there 2 days later without me doing anything else. My firewall (free ZoneAlarm) shouldn't have been a hold-up, as Spybot is Allowed Internet Access without asking permission. I used Firefox for both of those updates, by the way. My suggestion - rather than drastic measures like re-installing, why not download from the programme - and then just wait..? Maybe the 98SE Good Fairy takes a day or 2 to wake up when in Spybot mode? (hhmmm - not enough frogs to kiss at this time of year...) . |

| 267169 | 2004-09-06 12:00:00 | Hello Laura. You describe the problem well. Because a few of us could not get 30 Aug no matter what, reinstalling just might have fixed it. Did not the first couple of times. Why this time ? Dunno !! Strange that some happy folk get 30 Aug at once. Now if everything worked first time, would it not be boring ?? Grandkids coming to stay next weekend - not boring !! Cheers Tony |

| 267170 | 2004-09-06 12:01:00 | Forgot to say - I'm using Advanced mode. And (yes, I know it's a silly question) you're not still using the beta version of 1.3 are you? |

| 267172 | 2004-09-06 21:25:00 | Hello Laura. Definitely not beta ! And using the Spybot buttons. Don't know why it suddenly decided to deliver 30 Aug... | TonyF (246) | ||
| 267173 | 2004-09-15 11:21:00 | While surfing through the Spybot support forum I found this (forums.net-integration.net) thread which might help those of you who aren't getting the Spybot update files. Cheers, Andrew |
