Database Error in ver 3.3 after an update

[arthur_77]

I get this "Database Error" error constantly after I upgraded and updated the Spyware blaster ver 3.3.
More description :
"The Spyware database may be missing or corrupted".
What should I do - I already reinstalled it twice. First the program works fine but when I use the update function it downloads the update (sbdatabase.dtb and other files) from www.spywareblaster.net.
It says "0 unprotected items" in the update screen, but when I choose the protection tab it shows "database error" at all lines where there should be - "protection is on". If I check for updates again it downloads the update again but with the same results.
I happen to think that either the db I download is actually corrupt or this version has a bug with update option in general.
If I were sure that the previous version would get updated I would like to continue using it, is it going to be updated (are those the same db files)?

Hi Arthur, ;)

Update SB manually -> Copy the files to SBs directory

http://www.spywareblaster.net/spywareblaster31/sbdatabase.dtb
http://www.spywareblaster.net/spywareblaster31/sbdatabase2.dtb
http://www.spywareblaster.net/spywareblaster31/sbinfo.dtb
http://www.spywareblaster.net/spywareblaster31/ckdatabase.dtb
http://www.spywareblaster.net/spywareblaster31/rsdatabase.dtb

If the updates continue to corrupt try the alternate update method found in SB's update options.

To help me reproduce it, could anyone experiencing this updating issue please provide the following information about your system:

1.) Version of Windows

2.) What anti-virus software you have installed

3.) What firewall you have installed

4.) What other security programs you have installed (such as other anti-spyware programs)

5.) What ad-blocking/filtering programs you have installed, if any

6.) Whether you use a proxy or a special Internet connection setup

7.) Any other bits of information you think might be useful

Thanks a lot! :)

(In the meantime, you can also try the "Use Alternative Download Method" option under the "Options" section in the Updating part of the program.)

Hi,

I am also having trouble with 3.3 DB's.

when i auto update it downloads right to the end but stops 1K short and freezes. The program will display the "Program not responding" message if i try to do anything to SWB, which i then have to close. when SWB is restarted all the databases associated with the browsers are corrupt.

i have just used the alternative method and it has worked fine.

i have an Athlone 2200 with 1 gig ram, W2K SP4 with all hot fixes (and i mean ALL hotfixes), i have IPCOP firewall running on another machine. i run AVG free edition antivirus, Zonealarm, Spybot search and destroy and spyware guard. all running on Broadband. I have 5 security guards inside the house and a mobile infanty platoon in the garden (Just kidding)

looks paronoid but works fine :), never had a problem up to now. if i just reinstall the 3.3 and run it without updating, it works just fine.
