getting spybotsd152 to install

I am trying to get rid of some garbage spyware on my computer and what ever has taken control of my notebook won't let onto to spybot.com. I downloaded the software on another notebook, copied it to a disc and can't get the disc to run in windows. I now have a command prompt that reads"c:\Documents and settings\Michael Brodnax>

How do I get to run the spybot from here?

I assume that you have a copy of spybotsd152.exe installation program downloaded from one of the sites listed here:
There are two additional files that are need to complete the installation. The downloads for both are located here:
The downloads are:
  1. Detection updates 2008-06-04 - product description
    md5: 29809966DE7EA6BC827FDDDA18A53AD8

    This updates the detection rules. Only needed if you do not want to use the update function integrated into Spybot-S&D.

    The direct download link is:
  2. Anti rootkit plugins 1.0 - product description
    md5: EE7278BC89D4557CFD7127EACC37EE70
    Supported only for version 1.5.2 or above!

    This adds improved capabilities to find rootkits. Only needed if you do not want to use the update function integrated into Spybot-S&D.

    The direct download link is:
To copy the CD from a command prompt use the DOS Copy command:
  • copy source desination
If the CD only contains those three files you can use a wild card to copy all three files at once:
  • copy d:\*.* c:\whereever you what the file to
If the files are not the only files on the CD then:
  • copy d:\spybotsd152.exe c:\whereever you what the file
  • copy d:\spybotsd_includes.exe c:\whereever you what the file
  • copy d:\spybotsd_plugins.exe c:\whereever you what the file
Note: If either the source or the destination contains spaces it must be inclosed in quotes:
  • copy d:\spybotsd_plugins.exe "c:\whereever you what the file"
After the files have been copied to your C: drive:
  • Execute the installation program spybotsd152.exe skipping the updates during the installation as outlined in post #5 of this thread:
  • When the installation completes execute spybotsd_includes.exe to update the detection rules.
  • Install the anti-rootkit plugins by executing spybotsd_plugins.exe
