SpyBot prevents Acrobat reader 6 from starting

[m.rup]

Hi, I just installed Acrobat Reader 6.06 on my Win 98 system. When I try to start it, a SpyBot scanner appears and tells me after some time that he has neither found Malware nor Heuristic. Well, and that was it, the application never starts. What's going on?
