“This software is being updated” in the Start Center / System Tray

Explanation:

It states in the Start Center / System Tray “This software is being updated” because in the Licensed Editions of Spybot, the updates are performed automatically through a scheduled task.

This message does not mean Spybot is downloading or installing updates currently, but instead means the automatic updater is activated, running and updating Spybot on a regular basis.

We are going to improve this message in the next version to make it less confusing to our users.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this misunderstanding.
