    Unhappy "Check for problems" error

    I'm using SpyBot for the first time. Installed fine, checked for updates fine ("no newer updates available"), but then when I click "Check for problems", I get the error message: "You need to install the detection updates first by using the integrated update or the manual updater."

    Any ideas? Thanks!
