ive installed spybot and i try run scan but a error message comes up says i need update?

Answer 1

When you download it it offers you updates for certain sections of the programme...take the ones you need and away you go...just update it...I re-loaded it last night and had to do the same. Just follow the on screen instructions...if having probs...remove the programme and begin again. Also...when you run the first scan...take the system backup incase you lose some of your browser cookies. Then you can repalce them if needed..!!

Answer 2

Depending on how safe you surf, you may not need an active monitoring app,
such as TeaTimer, which is in Spybot S&D.

By installing the hosts file, IE-SPYADs, SiteAdvisor and WinPatrol,
you will have a pretty good line of defense which won't use up any resources.
this is the link you reqire for the apps http://temerc.com/hddncounttuts.html......

And of course a firewall is a must,
tho the XP SP 2 firewall is not sufficient in my opinion.
It only blocks incoming attacks, and should something get thru and that's always possible,
then it can call out to get more things installed or use your machine as a zombie
I'd recommend Zone Alarm, but one of the older versions from here:

Either of the 4.5 versions seem to work best, less buggy than current on
