The solution I found was using the windows built-in task-scheduler (start->programs->accessories->system tools), which will open the program for me regularly. However i don't know if there is a command i can give it so that it will run the update itself. I noticed that the task command line for norton is CODE "C:\Program Files\Norton Security Scan\Nss.exe" /scan-full /scheduled , and it runs itself. are there similar commands for spyware-blaster? And even if there aren't, i think you should consider adding this tip in your tutorials. Not every user remembers to update all her/his programs, and the task scheduler is a convenient tool...

Even if there was a way, it would defeat the purpose of the pay feature.... http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sbautoupdate.html -------------------- I cemna prestar aen. Han mathon ne nen.
