I use & like both Spybot & AAW6 pro. About Spybot, been wondering for about the last week (maybe 2 wks) no updates. At least through the GUI. Then I checked on the Spybot site. I noticed 3 downloads. 2 were unfamiliar. I downloaded & installed spybotsd includes.exe & spybotsd tools.exe. Mind you I had just ran AAW6 & Spybot 5 minutes ago. Now I ran Spybot again. Instead of searching for 2911 items. Spybot now searches for over 5200 items. And SBsd found like 10 NEW pieces of spyware! Bottom line. I didn't know SBsd was holding back updating through the GUI. :o

Probably the website updates a little faster.

@TGD A little faster? 2334 more items is more than a little slow! Paul, how do you set it to auto update & is it scanning for 5245 items? B) Edit: I think I got auto update setup in settings.
