    What you should do is go through all the steps listed in this link:

    Even though you run all those programs it does not mean they fixed everything. Some malware/viruses will keep coming back unless you do certain things in a correct order. I did not see that you had any virus prot. running at all? At any rate you probably have something on you comp. that you have to clean. It is a pain to do all the steps but you will come out with a better understanding of how to avoid the stuff in the future. Make sure you follow everything as it is spelled out then report back what happened. You may want to start a new thread in gthe spyware forum btw. There are a lot of people there that can help you out.

    hope it helps and good luck
