That doesn't sound like something Spybot would cause. Try going to a Restore Point a day before the event occured.

OK system restore is straight forward.
Start > All Programs > Accesories > System Tools > System Restore. Follow the on screen instructions.
If, and it's a big if spyquake does return Here's instruction on how to safely remove it.

As an aside, spyware and viruses are different animals. They do different things, behave differently and are cleaned out differently.
