I had no problem. Try a different server.

As usual, I get "No newer updates available". I appear to have discovered
the reason. Updates are made available to N. America before the UK. The US
mirrors are disabled in my Online.ini - despite my re-enabling them -
whenever I do "Search for Updates". The European and Oz mirrors do not have
today's yet.

The disabling appears to be done remotely. Online.ini besides the update log
is the only file I have containing 'Malwarebytes'.

If I uninstall Spybot and clean out the registry, then re-install it, then
update, detections dated 09/09/2005 are available, but none later.

Whether Europe's getting stuffed, just the UK, or only me, I've had enough
with updating problems and am about to uninstall Spybot S&D. Kolla could
probably guess where he's welcome to shove it.

I always download them from a USA site. You have a choice in the Spybot
interface as to which server you download from and I, like you, have had bad
experiences trying to download from any of the European sites.

Yes, that's what I used to do. But now the US sites are disabled in
Online.ini and if I re-enable them, the very act of running the GUI updater,
disables them again.

It just occurred to me to set Online.ini read-only, and that appears to
work.

Hi Puss.....

I stopped using Spybot a long time ago!! And I am not about to put it on
this new computer. Trying to scan took forever and I didn't find it all
that stable anyway.

My best download sites in Canada are usually Europe or Australia. I work on
the theory that when I downloaded, those countries were probably in the
middle of the night, grin. Woman's logic.....that'll get you everywhere!!

Spoke too soon. It puts the list of US servers back in the GUI but doesn't
actually try them.

Weird. I never had that problem.
