Bad Checksum when updating Spybot definitions

Can someone help me figure out what is going on with my spybot? I keep getting an error message when I try to run spybot that says "This application has failed to start because framedyn.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." I uninstalled Spybot S&D, deleted the old spybot folder from program files, then rebooted and reinstalled. I get the exact same error when running spybot and even after the error, spybot loads but it won't update definitions, I get a bad checksum error listed as the reason why it doesn't update. What do I need to do? Thanks, Wanda

Google is your friend,

I couldn't find anything about the framedyn.dll error on the spybot page. Any clue why this is happening? Wanda

1. Do you have the file on your system? 2. Are you running a slipstreamed version of XP?

hmm…I dunno…I can do a search for the file I suppose, but I have no idea what a slipstreamed version of XP is. I am using the version that came shipped with my pc from the manufacturer…with all the most recent updates… Wanda

See if you find it located here \System32\wbem\

If you do, then do this:
Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu that appears. If you receive framedyn.dll error , click OK.

In the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
Click Environment Variables.
Under System variables, click Path, and then click Edit.
NOTE: If no Path variable is listed, click New. In the Variable name box, type Path.
In the Variable value box, type the following:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\wbem
Click OK three times (or each time that you have the option).

Let me know if this helps.

OK…I found the file where you said, did the start–right click my computer chose properties but got no framedyn.dll error pop up message. Now what? By the way, Thanks so much for all of your help! Wanda

Hi wndy26 What version of Spybot s&d do you have?

The most recent one, since I redownloaded and reinstalled it. I got the newest version from download.com Wanda

Okay, if you have 1.4 that's good. Spybot has different update locations… you may want to try clicking another link to update from (instead of the one you're using)

N-I has lots of information about Spybot s&d.
