Hello,

Your file seems to be damaged.
Please make a fresh download. Uninstall your old version before downloading the new one.
Please consider the following link for this uninstall:

Then delete your temporary internet files in your browser in order that nothing blocks the new download.
Then make a fresh install.
You will find links to several download locations on our website.

Do not forget to update using the integrated updater.
If the integrated updater does not work please download and run the manual update (http://www.spybotupdates.com/updates/files/spybotsd_includes.exe).

If this does not solve the problem you might be infected with a virus.

For a free anti-virus software for personal use, take a look at H+BEDV AntiVir:
