I just downloaded SpywareBlaster and as I go to open it I get a message saying "This program has been damages possibly by a bad sector of the harddrive or a virus." What should I do to fix this problem?

You should also run ScanDisk, instructions can be found here:

If this and Caperjack's suggestion don't resolve the issue, you may need to remove and reinstall SpywareBlaster.

There is a possibility that you had a bad download, did you try to re-download it from a different site.

Did you do the virus scans and run ScanDisk?

I did a virus scan on pandasoftware.com, and scandisk can never finish scanning it keeps restarting after a few seconds.
