I keep getting the following error message whenever I attempt to update my definitions:

"Error Connecting to Update Server"

I am running Windows Xp Pro SP2 and have all updates. I have confimed that my firewall and my router are not the problem, as I had the same setup before and it worked with previous versions of SpywareBlaster. Please offer some advice as to how this may be corrected. Thank you.

When i first updated to 3.5.1 I had to manually configure my firewall to allow it to update. It always worked in earlier versions but this one took a little more config. but works fine now.

Hi,

What anti-virus and/or firewall are you running?

Also, do you use any type of ad-blocking, proxy, or filtering programs?

Thanks,

Well, I fixed it. :)

I just had to add the domain www.spywareblaster.net to my bypass list in Proxomitron. I guess it was somehow messing with the update check, even though it had not done so in the past.

Thanks anyways, though. I sure hope someone comes with a permanent way to fix this in the future. :)
