    Question altered spybot

    :p ok I dont understand what is going on with my computer. A week ago I tried to run spybot and I got a warning stating that I couldnt run it because it had been altered and since spybot does not alter itself that I had malware. So I uninstalled and tried again and it didnt say it again but I had other problems, so I knew that something wasnt right so I had run norton test and still didnt find anything.So then I discussed with a friend and he recommended that I highjack it and so we did and took out mywebsearch and it seemed fine then today it was acting up again so I tried to run spybot and same thing"Spybot has been altered and since it does not alter itself I have malware. It did this 2 times and the 3rd time it did not do it again but now I am not sure, do I have malware or what? And spybot wasnt the only one that said it. I also have a cleaner so I used that and still problems. Anyone have a clue? Please let me know.Thank you
    Lisa:( :(
