    Not sure if this post belongs here but I'll give it a try.

    Since my last virus attack I'm a little paranoid. I had to reinstall Spybot and I updated it manually. when I tried to update it online again I notice that the three files that SBot tries to update are rather old. Is that normal?
    - IE plugin update 1.6.1. 794KB 2008-09-24
    - Immunization database 546KB 2007-07-25
    - TeaTimer update 1.6.2 886KB 2008-09-24

    Even if I run the manual update again these keep showing up.
    I haven't updated yet online, should I?

    Thanks!

    Are you running the current version of Spybot? What version do you have?

    The dates of those files seem correct. The CLSID.ZIP file has not been changed since 7/25/2007.

    Yes, I'm running the last version of spybot, and manually updated it. I thought it was weird that after apply the latest update manually I still got those 3 files from the online update.
    Anyway, I guess I was just being paranoid.
    Thanks for the clarification.
