Housecall found 0 viruses this time around (the 3 that were there before were just located in my browser cache, which I went ahead and cleared---sorry, forgot to mention that)... Currently running Spybot S&D---note that, each time, Spybot S&D finds stuff, but it doesn't seem to correlate to anything I've thus far found running in the background. Will run Ad-Aware next.

I should also note that I found programs installed that I didn't put there---Virtual Bouncer, AdDestroyer, Sqwire... at one point, an add-on browser bar appeared in Explorer (like something you might download from Yahoo or something)... So whatever the heck is going on in the background, I can't seem to track it, nor stop it.... and it seems pretty active in perpetuating itself. Any other suggestions? ....Unless Ad-Aware catches anything, or in removing the stuff Spybot S&D finds, I correct the problem, this may end up being a format, just so I can be SURE I've taken care of the problem... Further updates as I progress.
