    When downloading updates, after I get the message "updates have been downloaded" I click the "OK" button and get a message that the database is corrupted, and in order to get a database I have to re-install the program (Fortunately I didn't delete the original download). I am travelling, and using a cell-phone dial-up (14.4K) and am wondering if the slow speed contributes to this. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply. I tried downloading the files and putting them into spywareblaster, still got "Runtime Error (11) divison by 0" when trying to update, then a message "Files may be missing or corrupted...etc..."
    I'll work on it. Sometimes I can make some classic mistakes.

    Bob

    The solution in this case was: Something I was told a long time ago:
    Disable your anti-virus when downloading, and it worked!
