Some of this sort of malware is really hard to get rid of. First, be
sure you are updating Spybot and Ad-aware before running them, and try
running them in Safe Mode. Second, download CWShredder and HijackThis
from www.spywareinfo.com. Read the instructions for HijackThis very
carefully. You also should visit the forums on Spywareinfo because they
are full of extremely knowledgeable people.
