Weird behavior of Spybot S&D

Hey guys i'm having weird problems with Spybot s&d.
I've been using it for about a year now with no problems until now:
Yesterday i wanted to do a scan and when i tried to open the app an error message poped up reading something like this:

"the application could not be opened cause framedyn.dll was not found, try reinstalling the application"

I uninstalled and reinstalled the program but the same message appeared when i tried to open it again, the funny thing is that when i click ok on the error message, the application actually opens and apparently runs fine and no spyware is found.

Also i have a program called TweakRegCleaner, and it shows some weird registry entry: "p2pnetworking.exe", the actual file is located at "c:/windows/prefetch/".
I regularly do scans of all sorts and this has never appeared before, until recently, i don't know i thought maybe it had something to do with the spybot issue.

Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

 

Thanks Chaslang!
I'm using version 1.3, one last thing, where do i install the .dll file? the windows folder?

 

Thanks again chaslang, i think this have become a little more serious, just a moment ago when i tried to locate the system32 folder, it wasn't there!!!!!
i did a search for it and found it within a folder called "c:/windows/LastGood/" WTF!!!

I think i got screwed by some f'ing bug.
I just did a scan with adaware and found a worm called "win32.p2p-worm.alcan.a"
of course i deleted it and then did a full scan with norton, and apparently its gone, do you think this thing could've screwed with the system32 folder?

And what do i do now with the system32 folder inside LastGood?
do i relocate it?

 

oops, of course is hidden ....thanks chaslang i went through the read me first thread and apparently everything's working fine.

 

well i did a lot of scans like the thread says, and yes found a couple of bugs. The p2p thing is gone (i hope). Its funny cause everything originated with spybot working weird...
and yet i thought i was protected enough, those things always find a way to your computer.

I was reading about different applications you can use to work alongside your firewall, cause they said your firewall is not able to protect you from some things, any thoughts on that?

 

There are some basic suggestions on protecting your computer from spyware in the following thread:
