Hello Sniper47,
You can still install updates manually. Posts 3 and 6, you need information from both, explain how here: http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showtopic=17852 I do not know, however, how long these updates will be available. I would advise looking for other AntiSpyware programs. Bleeping Computer has a list here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic3616.html Orange Blossom
