spybot is good, i also use hijack this, it scans the registry files, if any thing is found, write the name down before you fix it, after fixing, go to c:/windows/prefetch, look for any thing with the name of the spy ware, also the first entrys with all numbers are usually the problem files, just delete them, dont worry if you delete the wrong thing, when you reboot, any program that needs the file will put it back, also look in c:windows/temp internet files, not the one in local settings, open all the folders, if there is anything in there, delete it, it's safe, there shouldn't be any thing there, also look in, c:(your account name?)/application data/any folder with a name that is not a program installed on your computer, if you fine one, delete it, you can safely look in it if you want, it will probably have a exe file in it, then turn off your system restore, then re-boot, once up and running, have a look in all those places and everything should be good, if there was any thing there to start with, and it's back, you will probably have more entrys some where, they can be hard to find at times, dont forget to turn system restore back on, and create a new restore point, some spy ware,trojans etc are bigger than the files that anti virus looks for so they miss it, i once found a dialer embedded in microsoft movie maker and it cloned it self in to 20 directories, hope this helps
