Spybot search and destroy is preventing an attempted hijack of my google

9818-009027 AF CD4F changed, it in a loop trying to make the change. I
assume that if I uninstall Spybot the infiltrator will go ahead and change
the toolbar. It may then be difficult to get their stuff off as it is so
persistent in wanting on. Can anyone advise me what to do?
1. The CLSID refers to the Google Toolbar for IE. You shouldn't misuse
it as a webbrowser.
2. ActiveX install prevention on IE is more like cleaning up after the
mess actually happened than prevention in first place.
3. Your system is compromised. If you have restricted user rights
flatten the user's account + profile and rebuild it. If you're with
default admin rights, then the same thing applies to the entire system:
Flatten and rebuild.
