Then you're playing with fire. Forgive the strong statemnt, but
not using anti-virus software is foolhardy.

If you don't use anti-virus software, you probably don't use
anti-spyware software either. These days it's essential to run a
good anti-virus program and several (at least two, preferably
more) anti-spyware programs regularly and to diligently keep them
up to date. It's very likely that your problems are caused by
multiple installations of malware.
