Spybot S & D

Hi all,

Everytime I try to download the updates Spybot freezes as soon as I click the download button. The only way out is to end task via ctrl-alt-delete. Try again, same thing.

I check for updates as soon as I connect to the internet, so no other programs are running or no other windows are open.

Anyone ever hear of this happening before? Thanks,

Hello dopey,

Have you tried a different mirror site? The Euro one is the default, had trouble with it as well. Click on the down arrow next to "Unido Europe" and select another mirror. The US download site worked.

Regards - Charles

EDIT: Sorry Dave for stepping on your toes, didnt see your post between composing and posting. Got diverted by an e-mail.

dopey,
You're welcome!

Charles,
Quite alright. I find that happening to me quite often.


Edit

I meant that I too get distracted and step on peoples toes, but hey, they were made for walking on right? LOL!

That happens to me when I download during the day. When I come home from work at 3 or 4am, it lets me do it without freezing.
