When attempting to update the malware database for Bazooka Scanner on a system, I received the message below:
Error updating database. Could not save the new database on the hard drive.
An error occurred when trying to open the file for writing.
Filename: 'system\bazooka_db.bdb'
Current Working Directory: C:\Program Files\Security\Spyware\Bazooka Scanner\
System error message: Access is denied.
C++ exception: ios::failbit set
Could not update the database. Please check the following:
1. Are you connected to the Internet?
2. Maybe it was a temporary error. Please try again later.
You can also update the database manually. Would you like to have instructions
how to update it manually?
When I checked the properties of the Bazooka database, bazooka_db.bdb, which is under the system directory of the Bazooka installation folder, by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties, I found it was marked as "read-only". I unchecked the read-only option and then was able to update the database.
