251276 2004-07-10 09:02:00 Hi buddy , I've found that it's best to uninstall prior versions of Spybot , then download and install the new one - don't really know why 1.2 doesn't say there's a new update i.e 1.3 ... good luck :D KatiMike (242)
251277 2004-07-10 09:04:00 ... the offical site has been down for a few days I think , but seems OK now ...

251278 2004-07-10 10:05:00 KatiMike. Thanks for the link, I have now got S&D 1.3 downloaded. Put it on top of 1.2 no problems. PJ Poppa John (284)

1.3

No

> prob entirely?

Yes. Do you have a firewall? If so, you need to allow Spybot to get through.

No - when you first fire up Spybot it should tell you the version number at the top of the screen. If you are still on 1.2 then follow the link in the previous post

Cheers, Andrew

P.S. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the availability of Spybot updates - or is there?

Whenever I'm on the web I often have Spybot blocking cookies etc. esp the one you mentioned above.
Do you get a little red and white eye down in r/hand corner of the screen as well?
If you R/click that little icon it will show you what spybot has blocked while you have been on the web.

I don't get many updates from Spybot, they don't come round that often.
I'm on version 1.3.0.12 and its really great.
