Hello,

While trying to download Spybot 2009, I continually get the following error message "A connection with the server could not be established". Could their server be down? My internet connection/server is working fine otherwise.

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.4

I know this was asked a while ago but maybe you'll come back one day and see it, and if not, others might get warned.

You're probably trying to download the fake/ripoff version of Spybot. The latest version is Spybot Search and Destroy 1.6 and is available from Safer Networking - just type spybot.com into your web browser's address bar and you'll be redirected to the REAL home of Spybot.

Spybot Search and Destroy 2009 is a fake, from a site that is on the black list of various site safety lists. (I'm not sure but I think the affiliated site for paying is known for credit card fraud and the fake S&D 2009 includes spyware. Been a while since I did my research on it and I can't remember.)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news guys.... :-(

Nope :) the Problem is you'r trying to install it on the computer without connecting to the internet and the option for immediate update is on. if that's the case; before you complete the installation UNclick the option that says immediate update then proceed with the installation :)
