download Ewido anti sypware and run the update. now turn off "system restore" from the control panel. disable network connection. restart in safe mode. run ewido and recommend deletion of files if find infected.
however there are certain spyware that need special patched like "smitfraudfix". if you are still having problem try finding the pattern of of the spyware matching the symptoms. they must be available in the web, especially in different troubleshooting forums. the forums could give you a solution if you can provide them with a "hijackthis" log.
Best of luck!

Download Spybot Search & Destroy. It's free and it does a pretty good job of locating and cleaning spyware/adware from your computer. I know you can download it from download.com. Just search for "spybot", and it should come up.
Spybot also has a cool Immunize feature which keeps certain spyware from entering your computer at all. For the stuff you can't immunize, it will locate it and help you delete it. I think Spybot now has information about over 40,000 different adware/spyware programs.

Install Windows Defender. It's specifically for the problem you have and it's free from the Microsoft website.
You have to run the scan a few times before it clears up the mess you've got but stick with it - it does work.

hi, Perhaps you can try Norton or Macfee to remove the virus. but you need to pay for the software.
i also recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:

Best Wishes && Good Luck!

Ad-ware is something that is well, hard to stop! LOL. I have that problem too, use a pop-up blocker. Helps alot. And there is this program called Ad-Aware SE Personal. WORKS VERY VERY WELL. It helped me alot. I recommend you to get it. Not very sure where, BUT you should check it on the net. Good Luck =]
