poppy1910 Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 hello you lot!! ive got a wee problem with spybot. when i click on check for updates, it comes up with a couple. but when i click the download updates button, it does nothing. doesnt respond at all, eventually get a sign up saying programme not responding. any ideas?? i can scan for problems and fix them and the rest, just cant download updates. ive tried uninstalling it then re-installing it, but still to no avail!! im on xp. any advice would be grateful. ive also got ad-aware on and spywareblaster but not having any problems with either of them. :wacko: 1zhelp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Try updating it from one of the other mirror sites from the drop-down list rather than UniDo Europe - I usually use EON Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shirley_Crabtree Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I can't be sure but I seem to remember that Spybot doesn't work too well with Adaware....last time I had them both on my system I had a load of warnings from Spybot saying that Adaware would create conflicts with it.Maybe I remember wrong :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmadw Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 You can use both, but the warning is that if one has quaraintined something, the other may pick it up in Quarantine.I have used both for the best part of a year now, with no problems with either. (Several machines - Win 98, 2K and XP - infact they were both on it under ME as well come to think of it, I just ditched ME a while back!)The best answer, Poppy is to go for the Australian mirror (unless it's very late at night, and they are all awake!)Emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I had a lot of bother with abortive downloads until I started using the Australian site. It's probably better because it's quiet when we click onto it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I've got exactly the same problem, poppy. It can see updates but just won't download them. I go to the site and d/l anything new from there. I don't have Adaware installed so that's not the cause, although when I did Spybot made reference to it.
