Best to use a combination of Adaware SE and Spybot. If you still have problems, it may be a trojan or virus not detected by either of them. You can do a free virus scan at http://housecall.trendmicro.com/hous...start_corp.asp

also for cleaning up internet explorer i tried out cwshredder and it does an excellent job.

spybot and ad aware se pick up these things as well but usually dont remove them. entirely so if you have trouble with that give it a shot
get it here

That being said, be sure to use Housecall as a supplement of your resident AV. I mean be sure that you have a resident AV - and that it is updated often.

Spyware is such a big problem now that you should also use some spyware blockers like SpywareBlaster, a HOSTS file a spyware block list file and IE Spyad.

check your advanced settings.. some people have reported that SBSD ignores some threats. Be sure nothing is checked for ignore and run again. then boot into safe mode and check AGAIN
