Spybot: Search and destroy is not an anti-virus. It detects and fixes changes to registries or files that may have been caused by malware.

I suggest using AdAware instead, it works quite well for me.

After doing a clean with adaware most if not all of your problems will be one.
 
Yeah, if you don't want to pay, AdAware is free :)
