I got infected with vitumonde and vundo and initially spybot detected and said it removed them but AVG antivirus is still cathing the random dlls that these trojans generate. I purchased pctools spyware doctor and it detected other trojans and virtumonde again when spybot did not detect them.

pctools recommend running only one spyware realtime protection at a time and there can be issues if you boot up with pctools spyware doctor and other spyware utilities so I was looking for a way to disable spybot at windows start up but there doesn't seem to be an option to do this????

With vundo/virtumonde is it possible that my cerdit card details can be stolen?

Spybot's TeaTimer is a "realtime protection". Although it normally does not interfere with other anti-spyware "realtime protections", TeaTimer can be disabled as follows:
Go into Spybot > Mode > Advanced Mode > Tools > Resident.
Uncheck the following:Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of over-all system settings) Active.

Vundo/virtumonde usually just displays popup advertisements.
