Adware/Spyware Removal Software
Could someone recommend me some programs to help remove these annoying pests.
I've already tried Adaware SE Pro, Spybot search & Destroy, Hijackthis, PestPatrol.. After each scan, the objects are quarantined, but after running another scan immediately after the first they reappear. All help would be appeciated!

Have you updated your AdAware and Sypbot programs frequently to get the latest Definitions? I have heard some of the other users here at PC-Mech mentioning the freeware program from M$ to remove spyware. Maybe look into that as well...

My definitions are up-to-date. I also have ran my scans in safe-mode. I will look into Microsoft's program. Thanks for the replies!

What spyware programs are you finding? Some of them, like Cool Web Search and its variants, are a bugger to get rid of and have their own special tools for removal. You may want to run CWshredder as well if you think that may be what you have. You may eventually have to go in and make some registry changes manually to get them to go away.

Theres only one registry key that can't be removed
 and it keeps restoring itself.
