Real problems I am afraid.
Downloaded the SpyBot Search and Destroy programme. Could not seach for
updates . The log file says file could not be downloaded due to bad checksum.
Don't know what that means. The check for errors menu option will ot work as
it says I need to install detection updates using the integrated
update....which as I just said will not work. Clicking search for updates
returnd the error message ' Error retrieiving info file. Socket error #1104'
Downloaded Multi_AVe.exe.
Ran the menu.bat choosing any of the options 1 to 4 returns an error:
c::AV-cls\trend\Pattern.txt not opened for read, error code :[0]
Looks bad eh?
