You can try turning it off, by opening SpyBot.
Then, on the left, click on the Immunization icon. At the top, click on the "undo" icon, and it should stop it.
There is a free program I use to monitor and stop Spyware from getting into the computer in the first place. It's call SpyWare Blaster 3.4. You don't use it as a scanner, but can download anti-spyware definitions, just like the anti-virus program downloads definitions for viruses.
You can get it at:

After installing Spyware Blaster, I have not had ONE spyware program get into my computer, been months now. I don't even have to run AdAware or SpyBot anymore.
Fred do you ever read the question??
As the asker stated they already have spyware blaster, this is a message generated by Micro$oft antispyware app, with In my opinion is a complete waste of time as it does update enough.
Normally you are quite good at recommending anti spyware stuff, but you are WAY off this time.
OK now to answer the question.
Spyware Blaster CAN be used with Spybots immunize feature, works a teat in fact. I have been using both for a while, but to be honest I can't see much advantage to Spyware Blaster as Spybot covers it so well.
One of the Apps that comes with Spybot is called Teatimer, this is a real time scanning engine that monitors the registry for changes.
Slight down side is when ever you want to install a program it asks you to confirm the change, can get annoying but well worth it for the added protection.
The best thing to do is to allow the shell browser change as it can always be removed later. Its always worth using more than one anti-spyware scanner as they pick up different things.
Try Spybot S&D, Adaware and an excellent on line scanner is Trend's Housecall, which also does full virus scan as well.
You should only need to run Housecall once a month at most as long as you us at least one of the others.
I personnally won't both with Micro$oft's effort or Spyware blaster as the ones I have mentioned will keep you well covered.
Hope this helps a little
