Missing Definitions..?

[SpybotSD _user]

Hi, I just registered to these forums because my new definitions that I downloaded about an hour ago seem to have been lost.

I updated my stuff, immunized, and then tried to scan.. but I get an error message that reads:
"You need to install detection updates first by using the integrated update or the manual updater."

So.. I go to redownload the updates and it says there are no new updates.

Any help would be appreciated.
I've used Spybot for a couple of years now and I've never had a problem with it until now.

Hello. Welcome to the forums.

Do you have the latest version of Spybot-SD? The latest version is 1.5.2.20. What is your OS (Operating System)?

Yes, I'm using the latest version and I'm running Windows XP Media Edition.

Hrm. Okay, can you download a fresh copy of Spybot-SD? At:

But first, uninstall the old one via Add/Remove Programs window.
And also follow these steps.
- Uncheck SDHelper and TeaTimer (Spybot's Resident Shields). This will disable them. Do you know how to do that?
- Unimmunize by clicking UNDO in the Immunize tab. You can reimmunize after a fresh install.

During install, do NOT install updates immediately.
If you have a firewall, be sure to let Spybot update.

File "C:\Windows\unins000.dat" does not exist. Cannot uninstall.

Looks like I have bigger problems than I thought..
