    When I go to SUPERAntiSpyware to update the program it does not update. I attach a screenshot (Scrnsht.jpg) of what I see when I have clicked on, “Click here to check for updates”.

    When I look above where it says, “Click here to check for updates” I notice it says, “Update 1 minute ago”. This cannot be true for two reasons. First, I have not updated the program a minute ago. Secondly, I have the free version so it does not auto-update.

    I update SUPERAntiSpyware every day but have been experiencing this issue, i.e. no updates, for a week. Yesterday, checked to be sure I had the latest version of SUPERAntiSpyware and found I didn’t. I’ve updated SUPERAntiSpyware to the latest version but it still says there are no updates.

    Is something going on with this program? Has it not issued updates during this time? Can I have some problem which is preventing updates?

    Go here https://www.superantispyware.com/definitions.html
    scroll to the bottom and read Manual definition updates.
    1. Download the update (using the link provieded) and save to your desktop.
    2. Double-click the installer.
    3. Exit and restart superantispyware for the new definitions to work.

    You might have to do this until someone answers who uses the program. I do not.

    Got in touch with SUPERAntiSpyware. I didn't expect any help as I have the free version. They give me a little help which was to uninstall and re-install, which I did but that didn't work. Anywat today I ran SAS update on a different computer and it updated. I'll check the other machine later. I hope it's fixed now and how @jok3335* that yours is fixed too.

    Working on both my PCs. It would appear SAS has resumed normal service.

    i had the paid version a couple of years ago, and once in awhile the updates would hang or not complete, a tech on their forum gave me a link for their forced updater tool executable to resume getting the current definitions online, i may have ran it several times and it seems to fix the hanging issue for future updates.
