You have to get the latest version of Spybot S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/), which is 1.3.  Any older versions will no longer update.  Not sure about Hijack This (http://tomcoyote.com/hjt/).  The download link doesn't seem to be working, and wasn't when I tried a few days ago either.   :(

On another note, if you are infected with something, Spybot takes AGES To look for an update, and may look like it has crashed. Just wait up to 10 mins for it to complete... it will (for anyone out there having this issue).

The new version of Spybot does update a lot quicker than the old version.   :)
