    Default SD compromized

    I installed the latest spybot (1.4) directly from the spybot web page (http://www.spybot.info/en/home/index.html) from the safer networking links.

    When I update, I recieve a list of updates which appears to be valid, but no matter what mirror list I select before I scan, when I hover over the update links they show that they come from a "http://www.spybotupdates.biz" website.

    Upon downloading and installing these updates through SD's update manager, numerous trojans are installed, and avg's email scanner becomes compromised.

    I have checked for rootkits and did not find any, I was able to disable and destroy these trojans.

    I have repeated this on a fresh virtual install of windows XP.

    Also to note, the spybot sd process is also prevented from running correctly, as it runs extreamly sluggishly.
