spybot wont startup

[fastrob]

my friends, i have encountered a nasty virus that has stymied myself all around. it has disabled my windows security center(which i still can't startup and know is pretty weak, but some defense is better than none since i'm not software savvy in what works and what doesnt in terms of protecting my computer) in any case. my spybot program stopped working pretty much after i caught this; I get the message saying that spybot has stopped working and will shutdown now; I've uninstalled, deleted all the files and resintalled more times than i could recall within the past hour. This is really frustrating since I'm trying to find any roots of the virus that I can destroy both through the program and manually. If any one has any solutions, please! and i mean please! help me. Along with your solutions can you recommend a free program that works just as well and simplistic as spybot so I can try using that program to remove any spyware/malware that i can in the mean time, just in case i still can't get spybot running
