Spybot S&D Alive Query

When I go to update Ver. 1.2 of this program, I get a message that no
newer updates are available. This has been going on since the
beginning of May. Is this normal? S/ I get a newer version?

Thank you,

Barry Karas

Many of the professionals involved closely with SpyBot are strongly urging
normal users not to download the Beta updates unless they 'really' know what
they are doing, as there may be problems. It is best that those who are not
familiar with Betaware should only download the regular updates.
