I"ve no idea if this is any help, but in case the single malt doesn't help with your mystification...
I was mystified briefly by my update info, but it seems to have fixed itself.
I don't know why/how - but here's what I did.
(I don't bother with mirrors etc unless I can't get results from the programme itself.)
When I clicked on Search for Updates, it offered me Detection Rules & English Help, both of which I ticked. Download came immediately.
There seemed to be no SetUp next, so I checked my version info & found 8th August or was it 11th? Forgotten, but obviously not 20th.
Assuming the download hadn't worked/finished, I asked it to Show Log. They were both there, but listed as Zip, which previous downloads weren't.
I tried Check for Updates again. It said none newer available. I then decided something strange was happening, but got diverted by opening up a few segments of the Advanced version I hadn't explored before & reading their options.
A few minutes later, I checked my info & found the date had magically changed to the 20th August.
So I don't know why. There was no indication that anything was happening (unzipping?) in the interim.
But maybe you could try it this way..after the single malt and some infinity-checking?

263776 2004-08-21 11:55:00 Yep Laura. Just about the same as I did. No ZIP file no install option no nothing. Do have under help 2004-8-20

263777 2004-08-21 12:08:00 Laura, you have made it more murky ! Bowmore didn't help. so now try Talisker... Maybe tomorrow everything will magically update..
Cheers all Tony

263778 2004-08-21 12:13:00 You're quite right about Spybot's own webpage info, Tony.
I see they haven't mentioned any updates since 10 August .
(Maybe too busy thinking about *The Most Beautiful Girl in the World* to remember to let us all know there..?)

Can you blame him? After many years of unrequited love the fellow has done really well channelling his energies into Spybot. Let's not criticise him for a late notification people....

263783 2004-08-21 20:56:00 Finally !!! :O

After numerous attempts, and different download sites, I have actually downloaded English Help File 178kb and Updated Detections 401kb.

Spybot reading 2004-08-20

How? ;-)
Using EON and downloading English Help first, then getting out of spybot and going back in and downloading Updated Detections. What a pain!!!

Had the same performance last time I updated as well.

Marg. :D
