Cannot create file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Access denied

Can you post a log of the results?
You can find it in the Advanced Mode of Spybot-SD. I don't have it installed atm, but it should be around the third tab or so. It'll saw "View logs". And then there'll be "View previous logs". There will be a [bunch] (not necessarily) of text files and the one you want to look for is:
Checks.YYMMDD-####. It'll latest date... Like it should be anywhere near this past week.

What did you do after Spybot finished the scan?
(My guess is that, your machine is infected with a Rouge AV [maybe it's symptoms are not actively showing] and Spybot is attempting to remove it's traces in the Windows HOSTS file. Either that or Spybot found references or traces on your machine without the infection actually being there)

It seems to be a redirection to the malicious link.

Alright, there's no need to copy the logs if you can confirm results in the link.
I would suggest you follow the instructions posted by Zenobia and get your own thread started in the Malware Removal Forums.

Yeah, you two have similar symptoms. I would suggest you check out the Malware Removal Forums and start your own thread. Instructions are provided by Zenobia in the link above.
