The service.sbs.file is missing

[1handclapping]

I just downloaded Spybot since my system is infected with all kinds of would
sell u anti-virusn anti-spyware sellers. In effect running spybot showed these intruders and stated that they were removed. in fact they are not removed. Only at the beginning of the scan I get this message :

Service check :
The services.sbs file is missing Please use the...

Is there an explanation to what I should do to recover the sbs.file ? Is this the cause the removal of the pests totally failed ?

Hello,

This error occurs if you used a beta version before installing Spybot-S&D version 1.4.
Please remove the following directories:
C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Includes
C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Updates
After downloads please use the update function to download all detection files. If this doesn't solve the problem please uninstall your current version of Spybot-S&D according to this link:

It is important to use the small fix.
Now go to our download page and download Spybot-S&D version 1.4:

Hi:

I'm getting the same error with the same (lack of) results. It's a new non-beta install that worked in the past on other computers.

The suggestions didn't work and this link

If this doesn't solve the problem please uninstall your current version of Spybot-S&D according to this link:

Will only resolve to the main page of the Spybot web site.

Do you have any more tips? Thanks.

The resolution to this problem is worth mentioning.

Yesterday (with my new install of 1.4 on a "clean" computer) had a problem updating. Two updates were "bad checksum" from any site.

Today doing a manual update from the main spybot site fixed the "service.sbs file missing" error. All seems to be working well.
