Good info, and thanks for letting us know, but there is a thread where we post all these information. Everyone in this forum would find this info easier because many people are already "watching" that thread and they get e-mail announcements when something new is posted in there:

Just an observation. I also run SpySweeper. It seems that when SpywareBlaster is downloaded that my version of SpySweeper doesn't particularily like Spyware Blaster? Not sure why this is?

Hi Ylap,

Did you quickly disable all the protection, then uninstalled it from the Program Files with the uninstaller, leave the map there.
The if you unrar or unzip the new version, you get an alert that the map ist there, just accept, install and finish all is OK.

PS there is also a new System Safety Monitor version with a three month license, keeps you 10% safe against all varieties of hidden rootkit, better, faster. Cannot be without it.

No problems with updates here. It's working fine, but it's strange because I've heard from few other friends they had exactly the same issue...

Well, I disabled protection, uninstalled, rebooted, installed the new version and enabled all protection as suggested in the web site and no issues. I connected and did a check for updates and just got the:

Quote

'No Updates Available'
There are no new updates available.
You have the latest protection.

So everything appears to be working fine, for me.

Hi Miha,

They give three update servers, try another. The first one did not respond with me neither, so. Maybe champaign in the vein?

Yep same here, it's not the problem with the update servers as far as i can see it downloads OK....But then this error that Ylap showed pops up.

I didn't have an older version of this program when I downloaded it today. I went to Major Geeks, chose the Atl, Ga. site I believe. Did this because one of the other sites quit downloading in the middle of the first attempt. Going to this site and it downloaded just fine.

Neal we are talking about DEFINITION UPDATES and not the program update...

Miha, please check this... maybe it can give us some clues on what's happening...

OH, I am sorry about that Revan. Didn't realize that. My apologies.
