hello there aspire users and welcome
back to the safer networking youtube
channel my name is Rob from teams by bus
and I'm here today to bring you another
video in our web series of tutorials and
instructional videos or Spybot plus
antivirus today's video will be updating
Spybot plus antivirus so let's get
started with today's tutorial so welcome
to today's video on updating Spybot plus
antivirus in today's video I will show
you how to use the spy bottle data to
download the anti spyware and antivirus
database signatures the anti spyware and
antivirus signatures are required by the
system scan to search and detect for
malware and viruses on your system I'm
set up on a Windows 10 64-bit virtual
machine running in VirtualBox so the
first step in today's video is to open
the Spybot Start Center to do this right
click on the start standard desktop icon
then choose run as administrator to open
Spybot with administrator privileges
select yes when prompted by the user
account control then wait for the Start
Center to load once the Start Center is
loaded we can see in the top left-hand
corner
that it says no update attempt
registered this means that an update has
not yet taken place and the database
signatures have not been installed so a
system scan can not yet take place the
system scan requires the latest
definition updates before scan can take
place to ensure that it has the most
up-to-date detection rules therefore we
must update Spybot before going ahead
with the system scan you should see the
update icon in the advanced tools
section of the Spybot Start Center if
you do not see the advanced and extra
tools please click on advanced user mode
in the bottom left-hand corner then
double click on the update icon to
launch the Spybot up later
the Spybot updater should open up in a
separate window I'm going to maximize
you update window to give us a better
view we should then see last updates
your computer has no signatures
installed yet status check complete
there are updates available
so we can then click the Update button
to begin downloading the anti-spyware
and antivirus database signatures and
detection rules once the update begins
we should see checking for anti spyware
updates and checking for anti virus
updates the anti spiral plates contain
database signatures for adware spyware
Trojans possibly unwanted programs and
many other forms of malware
it is possible that your in the updates
the anti-spyware section may freeze on a
particular file
if this happens please close the update
window then reopen it again
when you reopen the update window the
updater will perform a quick status
check
once the status check is complete the
update button should become active again
you can then click the Update button
again to restart to download the updates
should continue from the previous point
and the file should download
successfully and the update should
progress
as expected as well as downloading the
anti spyware definition files the spy
vital data is used to download any other
essential files that are required by the
Spybot installation these include
updates to certain files or can include
bug fixes and other important files the
anti spyware updates are provided by
safer networking and the detection rules
are created by our own in-house
detectives who are constantly monitoring
the web for any new threats or
variations of existing threats that may
come into existence as there are
thousands of new terms of new threats
released every day the antivirus updates
are provided by bitdefender
who are one of our OEM partners as
Spybot uses the BitDefender engine for
virus detection they were gonna take
[Applause]
she the Monday Mata Hari Bennett I'm
happy Natori
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
the field date happens to freeze again
on a particular file please repeat the
same process by closing the updater then
reopening it again
then re click on the Update button
status check is complete well hey my
girl livin she tell y'all send in the
back
[Music]
[Music]
you should then see that the anti spiral
updates have completed and 58 updates
have been installed however this number
may vary based on how many updates are
available at the time of updating or if
this is not the first time updating
Spybot the antivirus definitions may
take a few more minutes to complete
[Music]
Oh
[Music]
you
[Music]
late at night when she's in the system
yes she knows that she knows she knows
but not right
[Music]
[Music]
you
you can run
[Music]
you can run
[Music]
[Music]
once the a/v updates have finished
downloading you should see antivirus
updates complete 790 antivirus
signatures installed again this number
may vary depending on if you have
previously updated spy but before the
updater should perform a quick status
check to ensure that all files have been
downloaded and installed successfully
if you then see your signatures have
been updated today at 11:51
status check complete we can then click
the Update button again to see if there
any more required files the updater
should display that the anti spyware and
AV updates are up to date the Update
button should become deactivated once
all the updates have been downloaded and
installed however due to a small book
the Update button does not become
deactivated once the update has
completed successfully so it may seem
that you are able to continuously
updates by bus but once the updater has
reported that the anti spyware and AV
updates have been installed you do not
need to update Spybot anymore until the
release of the latest round of Spybot
updates if you want to view more details
about the update files that have been
downloaded you can click on show details
in the bottom right corner of the update
window here you can view a list of all
the files that have been downloaded and
installed the updates are broken up into
four sections which are essentials which
contain updated Spybot files and bug
fixes detections which contains the anti
spyware detection rules needed by the
system scan to search for and detect
malware support which concludes
translation files and other which
contains the Spybot health file the
antivirus files that were download is
using the Spybot updater are not shown
here you can then click back to overview
to return to the update window if you
want to view even more details about do
play procedure especially for debugging
and troubleshooting purposes you can
view the update log by clicking on show
update log in the top left-hand menu
this will open the update start log file
which contains detailed information
about the update process showing what
files are required when the file is
downloaded extracted and installed
however the a/v updates or else are also
not present here we can then close the
update log file and return to the update
window
in licensed editions of spy la plus
antivirus the updates can be performed
automatically through a scheduled task
if the updates are not configured to run
automatically you can click on configure
schedule in the top left hand menu to
open Spybot settings in the scheduled
time of Spybot settings you can see if
the task has been added if the task was
not out of during the setup of spybots
you can click the add' button next to
the update task this will create the
task and add it to the windows task
scheduler by default this task is set to
run five minutes after every logon to
your system if you want to change when
the task is run you can click on edit to
open the task scheduler once the task
scheduler is open you will need to
navigate to the Spybot tasks to do this
click on the task scheduler library in
the top left menu next click on savor
networking then Spybot Search & Destroy
you should then see the check for
updates tasks to edit the task right
click on it then click on properties go
to the triggers tab then press Enter
you can change how and when the task
launches
we can now close
scheduler and Spybot settings then
return to the update window
now that all the updates have been
downloaded and installed we can close
the update window and return to the
start center in the status area we now
see that it says this software is being
updated this is a display error which is
related to the book that was previously
mentioned but the update would not
become deactivated once the update is
complete you can then minimize the start
sender and delete the post win 10
install directory file from your desktop
if you are a Windows 10 user and you
have not upgraded to Spybot 2.5 please
run the foil two installs by about 2.5
you can also have a look at one of our
previous videos showing you how to
upgrade to spy by 2.5 for Windows 10

Center and we are now ready to perform a
system scan however we will look at
