    yeah i got the Latest version of spybot but i am able to open the program and enable all the protection so perhaps they fixed it? or i don't know but if you want i can uninstall it and reinstall it later?

    EDIT: forgot to add or do the unimmunize thing :p lol

    If using WinXP, go to start, accessories, command prompt, and type tracert<spacebar> www.spywareblaster.net and see if you can reach the update site.

    well...i waited for ages at Castlecops but they still havent checked my log i had to use a guide and go piece by piece checking everything and following the guide instruction for analyzing my own logs i ended up removing some i did an online scan at spywareinfoforum.com also ended up removing some stuff i downloaded windows defender did a full scan after nearly 6 hour of waiting i found a trojan and i removed it did a scan with AVG anti spyware and found another trojan and removed it, i went to download.com and installed Zone Alarm Firewall and added sbautoupdate and spyware.exe to the trusted progam list and and put al ? on Allow (checkmarks) i also installed ad aware but i couldnt update it either i still did a scan and it didnt find anything im starting to think my problem is serious but after all that i ended up getting a new problem now i cant sign to windows live messenger lol even though i added it to the trusted program list but ill fix that later i really want to fix this so i can update my SB program :/

    so yeah after removing over 28,000 type of spywares and ad-ware also trojans viruses all kind of things out of this computer ,i beleive my computer is as clean as new and i cant update spywareblaster still...i cant access www.spywareblaster.net either but i can update ad-aware program wich is weird since i couldnt update it also....i got SB on my Firewall Allowed List (ZoneAlarm) and gave like full acess (checked everything) still cant update SB,i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program still cant update i cant access javacoolsoftware site either.... can anyone help? dont abandon my post please i would really like to have my SpywareBlaster back...i have also noticed that sometimes my SB defence gets partially disabled for some stuff like CoolWebSearch (shouldnt do it anymore though because i removed Coolwebsearch stuff just today i though that was the cause i couldnt update my spywareblaster but apparantly it wasnt)

    Edit: OH WOW...wtf is going on in here i finally know whats happening,AVG is saying that 190 of SpywareBlaster Items that im being 'protected' from are spyware and ad-aware same thing i had 28,000 cuz my anti virus considered my Advanced Windows Care Spyware Protection as Harmful spyware? do SpywareBlaster gives me spyware oO?

    Just to confirm, have u tried disabling your security apps separately, then attempt updating to see if this has any effect on the issue?
