I've encountered this as well. Did you try some other update sites?
There are some update sites preconfigured in the Spybot S&D menus.

No...actually, but, I did not know that this was a possible selection in
SpyBot. Is there some way to configure the update from the desktop Control
Center to go to other sites to download updates? If so, I don't know how to
set this up. I have just had to go to the website from which I origianlly
downloaded the program to manually download the updates. I know that there
are other sites where the SpyBot files can be downloaded, but, I am assuming
that the update information from these sites is all the same. Yes...No?

Thank you for your time to reply, I really appreciate it very much.

Yeah. Use one of the other mirror sites (I used the one in the US).
Something's wrong with the default sites server.

I do not wish to appear so very dense, but, when you say that I should try
another site, do you mean that I should download the program from another
site? Or, that I should try downloading the updates?

It is not that I can't download the updates from the website, that works
just fine. The problem is, that I can't update the files from the SpyBot
control center on my desktop, when I click the Search for Updates, and then,
when it lists the new updates in the list window, it looks as if it is
trying to download, and, on the bottom tool bar, it says, Downloading
updates (or such). The problem is....itjust hangs there, without ever
finishing the download, it just freezes my system, and I have to do a C-A-D,
the do an End Task to get it to rekease the system. Sometimes it will even
go to the Blue screen and I have to power off and back on.

See....it won't update from the PC, I have to go to the website to update.
BTW...this a new situation. Before, all I had to do was click the Search
for updates button, the new updates would be listed in the window, and I
could just tell it to update the new files and Voila! But, no now. I have
to do a manual download. Is there perhaps a deterioration of the free
program after a while? I mean, I can understand that perhaps the freebee
might only be good for a specific time frame, and then begin to dry up the
vine, so to speak.

Thank you very much for you time and information, I really appreciate it.

Best regards,
Jan

There is a "Mirrors" button just to the right of the "Download"
button. Select one of the other mirrors _before_ you click the
download button.

His main server is way too busy. Hence, the mirrored sites.

Yes...I have seen this...but, was just not sure if the initial install of
the program might have been a good one, and perhaps he was suggesting that I
do a new install. I'm still getting my feet wet with some of the aspects of
the way things work. Please excuse my tracking a bit of mud in the foyer
rug now and again...I am trying to wipe my feet well before stepping into
the parlor....)))

Ah...I see.....ye olde busy signal... astoya.....electronically..??
Well...guess I should just plan to make manual updates from the web.
Accesing the updates from the web is not a problem....and much faster in the
long run..

Thank you so very much for your time and assistance. I really do appreciate
it.
