Spybot is known to cause problems when you use its immunize feature.

Spybot is good at protecting you from these things if you immunize,
but it's never been great at fixing things once you get infected. But
at least if you have a clue what you have you can do some web searches
and hopefully remove the stuff manually. Or, don't waste a lot of time
and just format and start over.
Consider using DropMyRights in the future.

However, when I ran Spybot S&D it indicated that I had the malware
Smitfraud-C.gp and an infected C:\Windows\svchost.exe and offered to delete
these. After saying ok to delete, as soon as I ran Spybot again, it was back
(or still there), so either Spybot didn't remove it, or something caused it
to reappear.? What I decided to try -- and it did work -- was to do a system
restore to a previous day's system checkpoint.? Yay!? Thanks for your
suggestions.
