As the message indicates, you may have a bad sector on your hard drive. If Spyware Blaster happens to be installed in that sector, that would explain the problem. You shouldn't have to uninstall the other programs; just try uninstalling Spyware Blaster and re-install it.

You've probably got an old drive there, from your OS description. I suggest you uninstall Spywareblaster and go into real DOS not "command prompt" and try scandisk:

SCANDISK /ALL /AUTOFIX /NOSAVE, once it is done reboot and reinstall Spywareblaster.

make sure it is a thorough scandisk and not a standard. also go to advanced settings and tell it to run a surface scan
