Webroot Antivirus update error
When I go to update Webroot Antivirus/Spysweeper it tells me it cant update and sends me to the website to check my version which is the current 6.0 build. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?


thanks

Hi,
Best solution is to Un-install,Re-boot & Re-install.

Thanks for your reply,

Ive given this a whirl twice, and installing it does change the database's timestamp to the date of install, however the same error persists. I would also like to state that Websense is installed on the network here. I cannot seem to update Spyware Blaster either. I am begining to wonder if this is a Firewall issue?

I reinstalled Webroot using said program above and it still cannot update. My only guess is Websense is blocking my attempts to update, however i can access webroots site without any problem, so that might not be it.
