SPYBOTSD_INCLUDES.EXE as SPYGUARD

[TreeHead]

I always download the latest updates file (only) from the S&D website. The name of the file is "spybotsd_includes.exe". However for the last two or three updates, when I doubleclick on the executable file, TeaTimer warns me as follows:
Spybot - Search & Destroy has encountered and terminated a process that is listed as part of a malicious software
Process ID 4294385325
Filename SPYBOTSD_INCLUDES.EXE
Found In C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\DOWNLOADS/
Identified as SPYGUARD

I always check the options to "delete the associated file" and "Inform me again".

I don't understand how this could happen? I download directly from S&D website and yet the file is malicious. Can someone please advise / help. Thanks.

There was an error in a previous update that is causing the problem. Exit TeaTimer, install the updates then restart TeaTimer as follows:
Right click Spybot's TeaTimer System Tray Icon > click Exit Spybot-S&D Resident (TeaTimer should close).
Execute the spybotsd_includes.exe program.
Restart TeaTimer:
Using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy.
Double click TeaTimer.exe to start it.
