Hi tommy o,

Howdy? What errors are you getting? I am experiencing some problem with SS&D - no server available when I try to scan for new definitions. I'll revisit this site again later in the day.

Hi XpUser, how are you my friend?
Yup, I get the same trouble as you. It seems to time out for some reason with a "socket error #10060". This is the first time I've ever had any update troubles with it...
I was wondering if I was the only one experiencing this, but I guess you are too... Must be a Spybot thing; not my pc here...(I hope, lol!)

Tak care; talk to you later on.

That is good to know; I sprouted another (premature) gray hair here, lol! Think I better get some of that "Just for Men" stuff...

Take care; have a nice Sunday!

Hello Abnormal, thanks for that.

Oh gosh, XpUser... me a kid? Oh man, I wish I were a tad younger, lol... Not too badly aged yet though; the exact number is a "half century". Hey, maybe I'll get better like a fine wine...
