Hello,

Search for the SDHelper.exe in your taskmanager and end this process.

If this does not help please open your Internet Explorer and go to "Tools" -> "Manage Add-ons" -> "Enable or Disable Add-ons". There disable the SDHelper.

If you did not undo the immunization of Spybot before uninstalling it might also help to install a new host file.
Please delete your current Host file.

The file is named 'hosts' without any extension.
It should be stored here:
Windows 2000/XP/NT: C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

Delete that file and download a new one from this site (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt).

This is how to do it:
Create a new txt file with notepad on your desktop.
Therefore right click your desktop, choose "New", then choose "Text Document".
Name it hosts. Then right click and choose rename.
Now remove the .txt so that you have a file without any extensions, just named hosts.
Then go to this site (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt).
Mark the whole text. Then copy the whole text.
Open your new hosts file and insert the copied text here.
Save the file.
Now move the file by copy and paste to:
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
