Relax.  Spybott is a spyware package, not an antivirus or firewall 
package.  While removing and blocking malware is a good thing, it's not a 
life and death issue as an antivirus or firewall is.
Now if you are not using a firewall, that's another matter.
If Spybott was giving your pc fits, you did the right thing in removing 
it.
The question, and I will leave it to others to offer suggestions, should 
be what additional antispyware software should you run.
Note, unlike firewalls and antivirus programs, you can have multiple 
malware detectors and removers on your pc as different programs look and 
respond to different things.

Indeed a really thankful heart will extract motive for gratitude from everything,
making the most even of scanty blessings.
