Question engine.dat not found

Whenever I reboot I get an info box that pops up near the end of the reboot process stating SS ENGINE.DAT file not found. What could this be caused by and how do I restore the 'engine.dat'?
(WinXP SP3 HP a11230n). Hmm that I reminds me I did recently upgrade to SP3..hmmm.

Re: engine.dat not found

Do you have spysweeper installed? If so try re-installing the software see if that helps.
