Is your Spybot version 1.3 with the latest updates or is it version
1.2? If it is 1.2 then you need to get version 1.3 plus the latest
updates and run it again.
What antivirus are you using? Is it fully up to date with the virus
definitions not more than a week old? Have you done a complete virus
scan recently.

Good luck
