Try this for Spybot.

On your task bar click start > run > copy and paste.... regsvr32.exe C:\PROGRA~1\SPYBOT~1\SDFiles.dll .... > click OK. You should see a message saying it was successful.

Now right click on a file you wish to scan and choose properties. There you should see a new tab for Spybot. Click on that tab and wait a few seconds while the file is scanned.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I also should have mentioned im on vista and after i figured out how to get to the old run box i got an error

something like ' The module failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specific path'

Thanks for your time, any other ideas

Try this one then ( with the quotes ) regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\SDFiles.dll"

However this is presuming that C:\Program Files is where Spybot is installed on your pc. If not you'll have to replace it with the appropriate path.
