Run your anti-spyware in Safe Mode.If you dont have an excellent anti-spyware or your current anti-spyware can't prevent spyware from Invading you computer,download a better one.
There are top 5 anti-spywares reviews,comparisons and download links on
http://remove-spywares.info/
You can download and scan your computer for free.
As the computer is booting press your "F8 Key" repeatly which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" . Use your arrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.
After into safe mode,run an anti-spyware to remove the spyware and adware on you computer.
Make sure you have 1 or 2 antispyware on your computer and 1 antivirus and also 1 firewall.
GOOD LUCK!

Download SuperAntiSpyware.
http://www.superantispyware.com/
Load in normal mode but run in Safe Mode after turning off System Restore.
If the above fails to completely remove your infection try a Smitfraud removal program:

Again run in Safe Mode.

Ok, two things you could do. I recommend downloading (smitrem, do a google search for download) its free and will clean up your pc, just follow the directions. Or download (spybot, at download.com) will clean your pc as well, but not as good as the first one. You can use the computer upstairs download the file, and burn it onto a disk or save to a floppy and then load it onto your computer.

If adaware hasn't found/deleted it you should try an antivirus program, and unles you're sure it's spyware get an anti-malware program. If it really is spyware either buy a proffesional program or backup important files, get your recovery disk and format and reinstall windows.

I'll advice you to send to a specialist, some one who can understand the infection

You need to re-install the operating system and totally wipe the hard drive clean.
