some of the spybots prolly removed some of the .dll which is "nessesarry" to run some of the apps, just put the CD in, no biggy.
move those .exe and .dll files into different directory, if nothing happens, delete them for good.
search regedit for homepage name it is changing to, and change it to whatever you wish by Modifying the Value.

..this is very useful and helpful place for information...
