What am I missing?

[Crab Skiff]

I've used SpyBot in the past for many years- my job changed and I didn't need to use it for some time. Yesterday I decided to run it here at my new job and read the latest and made a donation by PayPal as I did appreciate having this free service over the years. I download it, get all my error messages and when I try to click to delete them it says I have to "register" first which looks to be "purchase" something first. Am I missing something here or have I been had? If I knew I was going to have to purchase something I wouldn't have made a donation.

Please advise.

Sounds like a scam. Were did you download from?

The official download sites are here:
Mirror selection - The home of Spybot-S&D!
http://www.spybot.info/en/mirrors/index.html

I downloaded it from the freeware site posted on that page.
