Spybot users...

I was wondering if any of you Spybot users were able to get any updates? My
Spybot keeps reporting that there's no new update for over 2-3 months now,
which I find very odd.

Updated just a few hours ago.

Are you using the latest Spybot? Might be that you're using an older
version (?).

I've updated fairly recently, perhaps a week ago or so. I'm using
Spybot 1.3 beta 6.

I do find Spybot's updating quite bad in general though. I frequently
get files with bad CRCs and sometimes the update process just hangs too.
It's fairly unpredictable compared to others such as Ad-aware's.

I've seen it hang during the update, but you can always visit their site
and download the update.

Hmm. I'm getting them regularly. Here are the last few lines from
my "update downloads.log":

Having said that I have mine set to download beta versions...

I am not able to get an update now. The "about" shows that the latest
detection update is Feb 2, 2004, instead of Feb 26 as indicated in this
message.

It does "appear" to hang, but it's still doing it's work in the
background and after a minute or two (or more if you're on 56k
dialup), it does return.

The latest Spybot 'includes' update is Feb 2, 2004.

The Feb 26 update in the OP's post is an .ini file; Why that's being updated
on his system so often does seem a bit strange, but if you download it from
the links he provides and open it in notepad this is what it shows about the
latest 'includes' update on his system:

Make sure you're going to the source. The links that I give are first, the
download location and second, the company that makes and supports the
software.

There are now some posers out there and may or may not have the correct
software. Some actually put spyware on your machine. Also you should make
sure you don't have any virus on your system. A couple of the newer ones
block the spybot and adaware sites. You also might check out "news.grc.com"
groups to see what is going on there.

Good Luck,
