You will be fine to completly uninstall Spybot Search N Destory it won't cause any problems for you at all.
Reinstall it again and try again just do an install and scan no updates and see how that comes together for you.
You can also do a Repair install in other words reinstalling over the top of the original installation incase there is a corrupt file that is assigned with Spybot that is stopping things working correctly for you.
See how that goes for you :)

The adware or spyware has targeted Spybot S&D. The answer is to use more than one anti-adware program! Try Adaware SE. it's free and finds things that SpyBot can't.
Also if you have sbc dsl get the free Computer Associates internet protection software from your yahoo account.
The more good anti-everything programs you have the better off you are. But only if you USE them

maximum possibly you will would desire to do the spybot test in secure mode by doing here; a million. while your computer is commencing, press F8 many times 2. decide on "initiate in secure Mode" 3. Run your virus/anti-spyware test and sparkling the infections. 4. Reboot your computer as known.
