The Spybot which you are using is a probably a rogue program.
If you have paid, then you have been cheated.

Spybot - Search & Destroy is a free software. You can download it from here:
http://www.spybot.info/en/download/index.html (Downloads Page)
http://www.spybot.info/en/mirrors/index.html (Mirrors Page)

I recommend you to try download directly from Safer-Networking host.

EDIT do what Tashi says

"best tool" depends on what the malware is :)
Do you know what your next infection will ber? :)
let me know and I'll suggest the best tool

Spybot Immunize, SD Helper and T-timer are excellent tools
The Malware Bytes Forum recommends Spybot as a valuable scanner as do many other professional sites.

A good Anti Virus like Avast
and a good third party firewall are essential
If you run Internet Explorer something to block Active X malware
a Hosts file
lots of things to consider
have you run Secunia software inspector?

If you think that you are currently infected
I suggest you go to the malware removal forum
read the stickies at the top and let them help you there
