Hello Guyz,

I'm having serious problems on my computer, after I've ran spybot search & destroy (I) I can't open Adobe Reader documents in I nternet Explorer
(ii) Can't open any .exe files display message unable to execute file in the temporary directory. Setup aborted.

Can someone please advise me on what to do b'cause I have no idea how to solve it.

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

Now how do I do that "Restore Point"? But then restoring everything is going to bring back that horrible virus "spyquake" right? b'cause I had it before I ran spybot

OK system restore is straight forward.
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore. Follow the on screen instructions.
If, and it's a big if spyquake does return Here's (http://www.spywareremove.com/removeSpyQuake.html) 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.
