Answer 2

Pretty sure that just means you need to check for updates first then run a scan. There is a button to check for updates in SB S&D

Answer 3

Just go to update and that will download and install the latest security definitions (what files to look for). Then just run the cleaner again.

Hope that helps.

download the updates, immunize and then check all and recheck
