I keep having to reinstall Spybot every time I run it.

Hi! :-)

Exactly what the subject line says. I have Spybot 1.4 and here lately, when I go to do my usual weekly scan, I get I get error messages saying "The external update application has been corrupted. Please download the "Updater" update to replace it!" and "Cannot create file "C:\Program Files\Opera\profile\cache4\temporary_download\Updates\download.ini" The system cannot find the path specified"

The only way I know to fix it is to run the install file again (not a clean install) but the problem comes right back the next time I shut down 'n' start up. I'm just about ready to change start/programs/spybot/spybot and my run spybot reminder in my bookmarks both to link to the install file instead of C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SpybotSD.exe

Can the storage space under the seat be locked? I plan to carry rain gear in case I get caught out in bad weather and I wouldn't want anyone to steal it or whatever else I happen to be carrying in there. LINE BREAK Is the electrics a 12 volt system? Wondering because I'm considering some 12 volt LED's made for motorcycles to increase my nighttime visibility since I'll be riding it 9 miles to my nightshift job 5 times a week
