Losing the Spyware Battle

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have an XPP machine that has the worst infestation of spyware I've seen, and it is whipping me. It had some viruses, too, but I got rid of those pretty easily. It was necessary to run LSPFIX (what a great utility!) to get the machine to communicate over the Ethernet port. Because I don't want to have to reinstall the applications (there are some custom written ones that I don't want to have to figure out), I'm spending unbillable time trying to clean it. Here is where I am so far:

1) EZTrust Antivirus scan - clean
2) housecall.trendmicro.com online scan - clean
3) Ad-Aware (updated) scan - clean
4) Microsoft Antispyware scan - clean
5) Run in Registry - no unidentified keys
6) Manually deleted urkurk.exe from \windows\system32
7) Manually deleted jervw.exe from \windows\system32
8) Re-ran all scans in Safe and Normal modes
9) Set everything in msconfig to off
10) Set Microsoft Antispyware to real time monitor
11) Installed Google toolbar to prevent pop ups
12) Removed everything unfamiliar in Add/Remove Programs

On each of the above, if anything was discovered, I did a rinse, lather, repeat until the process came up clean.

When I start Internet Explorer, I still get an occasional popup. What am I overlooking? Why are Ad-Aware and Microsoft Antispyware not picking up these varmints?
