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

remember that I didn't want the global browser toolbar @ 2318CB1=4965-11d4
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?
Thanks,

Are you sure that the attempt to change it is from the outside and not
somehing that's already loaded on your PC? I didn't know that spybot
had that option but I'll look for it. In any event, I would port scan
my PC to see what ports are opened.
