Three times i tried downloading the latest version
of Spybot S & D & i get the following virus:

Win32/Adware.Alexa Application

The file name is:

C:\Program Files\Spybot-Search & Destroy\Dummies\is-8143C.tmp

Is there a solution to the above problem?

See my above post. This is a false positive reported on the NOD32 forum
at Wilderssecurity.com.
