Other users + programs you install that have backdoor trojans that allow remote access, or dropper trojans to install,
In addition to say, computers that get hijacked to direct tons of spam or bad mail your way.
By other users, I mean, some people write these programs just like others do programs, & take great fun in giving them different names or activities they can do *to get around name based scanners.

There is probably one spyware, that none of the softwares is able to detect, is running on your PC. I had the same problem too. Firstly, download the "Spybot - Search & Destroy" from www.download.com
install it. While installing, it may will ask you to download updates, you should download the updates.
Now restart your computer in safe mode.
To start your computer is safe mode, when you turn on your PC, keep pressing F8 key until you get a menu, from that menu, select Safe Mode.
Once your computer starts, first run the spybot search & destroy and then also run the anti virus software.
Most of the viruses and spywares can't be removed because they are already in use so in safe mode, there is a chance that if they are detected, can be removed easily.
Hope this helps

It's possible you could have some open ports on your computer from using peer to peer software that is allowing worms to get in your system once the worm gets in the system it installs a backdoor trojan horse so an attacker can access it remotely.
The other way is from installing software or music from
a peer to peer network or limewire without checking the
source.

Go to CNET and run the free downloads of CCleaner and AntiVir. Run the CCleaner first to eliminate recent infor. Then run AntiVir. AntiVir can also be set, as with AVG, to run each day at a set time.
Check your firewall settings and upgrade them if needed. You may also want to install, again for free from CNET, AdAware and SpyBot for xtra protection.
