Is there any chance you may have renamed the default Spybot installation folder after you had installed Spybot?
It's probably located here:
C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy
Could you post your system startup list?
To do that,you'd open Spybot,select mode up top,then Advanced Mode,then over to the left,select Tools,then System Startup.Then click Export,save the startup report somewheres,then copy and paste it here.
There were many reports of Spybot 1.5.1.15 starting slowly. The problem has been found and fixed. See the following tracking task (which includes a link for a fix to the problem):Originally Posted by JimGainsley

In addition there is another beta version of Spybot 1.5 that solves the slow start as well as other known problems that have been encountered since the original release of Spybot 1.5:
