Since Version 2.x (Spybot - Search & Destroy Portable), the Virus definition does not update. If I want to Upgrade searching endlessly for updates, and nothing happens.
My Operating systems:
Windows XP (SP3) and 8.1
Installation path:
E:\PortablerPC\PortableApps\SpybotPortable. "E" stands for the USB-Stick.

We ship Spybot Portable fully updated. Note that you can't use or run the antivirus portably so it will say "Your computer has no signatures installed yet". This is an antimalware tool only.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
My installation version can be updated. If I want to update my portable version, I need to copy it into the directory of the portable version the data from my Instalations version, which is very cumbersome. The portable version has indeed now an update option (definition list), that just do not work.
Under the Version 1.6.x I was able to update. (Translated with google)
As I said, we don't support antivirus under the portable version due to limitations of Spybot itself. Version 1.6 did not include antivirus, only antimalware.
The updater in 2.0 works just fine for the antimalware definitions. I just ran it without issue. Antimalware and antivirus are two different things.

We will not come on. The updater in the portable version of Spybot - Search & Destroy does not work for me. Then I have to deinstalieren the apps unfortunately. Thanks for the replies.
Could you try running it in English to see if that changes whether the updater works for antimalware definitions? Keep in mind, there may not be any updates as it was updated when it was released.

It will first check if there are updates, then it indicates that updates are there. Am I willing to upgrade, looking for the updater, but it is downloaded and instaled anything.
