I keep getting a popup for Super Anti-Spyware asking to download updates.

I click on it but it keeps locking up and I have to close it.

Does anyone know about this and I can I resolve the issue?

Thanks

This has been occurring for a number of days . . . not just momentarily. And it has not been resolved in a "few moments"

The download starts, goes through some installation, then hangs up.

Did this problem occur after installing some other software perhaps?

Any other problems?

I think if it happens for a few more days it wouldn't hurt to uninstall, reboot, then reinstall SAS.

I haven't installed any new software.

When I manually update SAS normally I get the updates . . . but when I do it through the "pop-up" it starts then hangs up and stops running. Is the "pop-up" update trying to update the entire SAS program or just the spyware updates?

I'll try to uninstall then re-install to see if that helps.

SAS updated fine for me, so I'd say you most likely need to:
1. Uninstall SAS.
2. Restart your computer.
3. Install SAS.
