No, neither Spybot S&D nor the website has been hijacked. The problem
is not with Spybot S&D, nor is the problem on your or any other user's
end.
The problem is with a corrupted "spybotsd.ini" file (that's the
downloaded updated information file) residing on Patrick's server, not
the update servers.
It truncates after the [-Mirrors.disabled] section header, so Spyware
S&D is never notified that there is an update to download.
