Hi Olsweede.

Welcome to Wilders.

Try one of the other download alternatives.

Open your SpywareBlaster interface, click on Updates>Options and choose on of the other methods.

U can also update manually,

Hi snowbound.
I have found out what was missing, i had deactivated IE and was useing firefox only, but that way i could'nt make spywareblaster connect and update, the program needed IE activated and connected, or else no update.

And that's sad because i do'nt like to use IE or Outlook anymore at all, had som problem earlyer, but i suppose i got to live with it and just use IE when i have to update.

Bye-bye, and thank you all.

Lightbulb Re: Spywareblaster update.

Same here. I have been using Firefox and couldn't get the updates to work.

I discovered my "IE" settings were set to "Work Offline". With this set spyware blaster and spyware guard can't connect to the server. I unchecked this and they both connect fine. (there are no updates though)
