I'd recommend doing a new download and installing over your current version

Disregard the previuos post.
Try going to Windows Update and applying all offered critical updates.
http://update.microsoft.com
Just go to Scan menu, select Custom scan, select some folders and do
scanning on them. The error should disappear.

Just responding to Engel's post as it relates to a problem I have.
I don't think the custom scan works, at least for me. No matter what folder
I check to scan, the program decides to check a lot of other things.
I check c:\windows\system32 as the only folder to scan. In watching the
GUI, I'm watching it scan that folder, then it changes all over the place to
places like:
c:\program files\...
c:\documents and settings\...
Various registry keys are also scanned (Now that I think about it, this
strikes me as odd since there's no option to check for anything in the
registry. Does it scan the registry when it wants to?)

Hello mcdonamw,
The scan works backwards from memory content and startup items, and is
intended to catch 100% of active in-place spywªre.

I don't think this is such a case at least for me. My scan went for well
over a half an hour and it scanned approximately 300+ thousand files before I
stopped it. There's not that many files in the c:\windows\system32
directory. I only have 8,563 files in this directory.
By the time I chose to cancel the scan it was scanning c:\program
files\microsoft sql server\*. Kind of odd when I told it to only scan
c:\windows\system32, no?

Thank goodness. I was worried that one of the Pointer Sisters had a terrible
accident. ;-)
