Why do I receive a "Socket Error"? FAQ #053

Please take a look at the security settings of your firewall (if you are using one) and make sure that Spybot-S&D; is not blocked. That should help to get into the updates. If Spybot-S&D; is not blocked it is also possible that our server is temporarily not available. Please try again a few hours later.

If this does not help please download the manual updaters here (online link; here is also a direct download link). The manual updaters are self-installing, you just need to execute them.
