Update fails...

Greetings with a bug report!

I have 3.5.1 installed and it fails to update correctly.

All updates download (it's not a fw/proxy/connection problem), then the program hangs displaying:

Spyware blaster has downloaded the latest protection updates
Verifying file integrity and loading database...

The progress bar stays at 0% and the program does not respond, but keeps "running" in the task manager, taking 0% CPU.
If I close the window and run the application again, it starts up and immediately pops up a "Run-Time error 13: Type mismatch". After clicking OK, the app closes. Deleting the downloaded database files makes the app work again, but I cannot update.

Downloading the files manually does not help. Same thing. Only the files in the setup work.


I'm running Windows 2000, SP4.

Help me update your software.
