Hi Ali
I run Spybot with no problems, but the Spyblaster, read the review from the
parasite checker site , called 'and.doxdesk.com', have to say about the
latter.
I would remove it, and see what happens, as it may be treating the wrong
files, as spyware.

a.. SpywareBlaster by JavaCool takes a different, complementary approach.
Instead of detecting or removing its targets, it inoculates your computer by
telling it never to execute certain software. This stops you downloading
some types of parasite, and stops others from working. However, like the
script on this page, it can only target ActiveX controls, so it is not a
complete solution.

a.. Also, he (and.doxdesk.com),could not get the program to run, so he could
not rate it's effectiveness.

Hope this helps

Rob.

I would restore all that spybotsd deleted in case something was deleted
that was needed.
Then run spybot again and carefully read each entry for what it says is
spyware and where.
It may have rendered some program unworkable that had spyware in it.

I have found it helpful to read what the computer wants to send to
Microsoft. It gives clues to the problem sometimes taht I can
understand:>)
