What were you updating, Spybot? What was the exact message and what program issued the message?
I was updating spybot SnD, unfortunately I cant remember the message exactly. I've run my antivirus/spyware programs and they found nothing

I got the same message when updating last night. It was a box with an X in a red circle that said, "An outsider did inject malicious code into this application! It is strongly recommended that you scan with anti-virus and anti-spyware programs, etc." I went to this site after that and I think I was searching for information about this message and the new spybotsd15he-beta1(version 1.5.1.17) automatically downloaded to my computer which kind of freaked me out. Does this mean I have malicious code? Should I uninstall everything and start over? This has got me very nervous. I love the program but am unsure of what to do next. I did notice the newer one loads a LOT quicker.

Hello,
This is a microsoft message.
We have implemented this tool as it should be needed for the vista certification.
But it shows to be buggy and does not make any sense, so we have already deleted it.
Here is the download file for the fix - the new Spybot beta:

Would it be safe to just go back to using 1.5.1.15 and get rid of the new beta? Thanks.
