Error message

[Brian26]

I down loaded the anti spyware (Beta) from microsoft and
installed it. When I try to open the software an critical
error message (101) keeps poping up and tells me to try and
start the program again. The message keeps coming up
regardless. Has anyone encountered this problem? If so can
it be fixed?
