I don't know what version of Spybot you are running, what version of SD Helper, what version of Google tool bar or even what operating system you have, so the following comment is fairly general.
First, if you are not using the latest version Spybot and/or the latest version Google toolbar, and your operating system is not up to date with the Microsoft updates, then you should update them. (That assumes your OS is a still supported one). If the problem still occurs then post back with all the relevant information.
In the meantime
(Choice 1), Try either disabling or uninstalling the Google Tool bar. I don't use it so I can't tell you whether it can be disabled via the tools/manage add-ons menue in the browser.
or
(Choice 2) disabling Spybot SD Helper. Start Spybot, Click on mode, click on advanced, click on Yes for the next dialogue. Now click on Tools, then Resident. In the Resident screen untick the SD Helper box, exit Spybot and reboot.
Both items are more or less optional, in that you can use them or not. If they play together without problems well and good, if not you chose which one you use and which one you don't. One only gives you some added convenience, the other one provides very valuable real time protection.
