If the stuff comes back after reboot, you need to try booting in safe mode.
Hit F8 repeatedly while the machine is booting. You should get the screen
that allows safe mode. Choose that. Then run you anti-adware software (and
any anti-virus program you might have just to be safe). You can then reboot
normally.
This should make sure the junk is removed permanently unless you've got a
virus that hasn't been caught.

the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes...known instruments
for bringing the many under the domination of the few. . . No nation could
preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."
