    Default Spybot S&D can't update

    When I tried to scan using S&D advanced, I received the following error messages:
    There were problems in the include file C:\Programfiles\spybot-Search and Destroy\includes\Hijackers.sbi See include errors.log for details. Same thing for Trojans. I found this log by going to the tools>view report>view previous report>include errors log, but the info meant nothing to me. So I tried to update S&D. I got the following messages: Detection Rules: Hijackers !!!bad checksum. And the same for Trojans and also for immunization database.

    I had been tight on cash so I let my Trend PC-Cillin renewal lapse (yes I know). Since getting the S&D errors, I bought Kaspersky virus protection 6.0, and tried to download Comodo free firewall. The Kaspersky found trojans upon loading and neutralized. However, I can not get Comodo to download even after following their help suggestions, so I tried to download ZoneAlarm Free and it failed as well. I tried scanning with S&D with same results. Tried updating with same results.

    Did I get infected by some hacker who is keeping my computer from being able to download S&D and these firewalls, or is there something else I am doing wrong?

    At the end of my rope - help please!

    Please go into Spybot > Help > About. What version of Spybot are you running? What Windows operating system are you running?

    If you are running Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.3 and not running on a Windows 95 system, upgrading to Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.4 will probably solve your problem. See:
