If you're referring to Spybot Search and Destroy, I don't believe its being supported any more. I haven't seen any updates for it in months.

I switched over to Ad-Aware for my spyware nuking pleasure.

Spybot had an update yesterday. It found a trojan, StartPage-EH, that Ad-Aware SE didn't detect.

I'm running AdAware v1.3 - is "SpyBot S&D" still required or recommended?

Spybot is still very alive, but download the latest program, I think it is 1.3.

Also, Adaware is also new so it should be downloaded and installed. In both cases it is best to uninstall the old programs before installing the new. Not really necessary, but it is cleaner and causes less problems.

A great resource for freeware is the freeware newsgroup. There are alternate sources for just about every program out there,

It certainly is. In fact, SSD will find Firefox/Moxilla cookies where Ad-aware won't. SSD has to be run in Advanced mode (beta download) which works fine. For more info, check the Firefox forum, search for 'cookie'.

Au contraire. Been rebuilding a few systems here over the past week and, once again, download Spybot S&D onto all of them, and there ARE updates. It's still VERY much alive and well, and the best product of its kind out there, period.

Is your Spybot version 1.3? If not, you have to download the newest version. In fact, I downloaded an update this morning. :)

SpyBot is now running version 1.3.

It is possible your earlier version is not updating.

Do a google search for SpyBot. Version 1.3 is the one being offered for download.

Let me know if that changes things for you.
