Rachel, for one thing keep all posts in one thread. Don't create
multiple threads. Second, maybe those are false positives for viruses?
That does happen. Try running several of the on line scans.

Online and Downloadable Virus Scanning:

Panda ActiveScan

Bit Defender Online Virus Scan:

Symantec Online Virus and Security Scan:

TrendMicro:

McAfee Online Virus Scan:

RAV AntiVirus - Scan Online

F-Secure:

Did you run adaware and spybot in safe mode too?

The last thing you can try is run HijackThis and post the log to one of
the specialty forums along with the history of what you have done, _NOT_
this one. They are the experts in removing nasties.
