I snipped everything that was irrelevent to your issue and left the rest
above.
As you can see, it is specified that you should run at least 5 of the ones
in the list - at the same time - before you come back and say it didn't
work. Please try more than one - although Spybot Search and Destroy is
great - it doesn't clean everything. It is a known fact that each one will
find something the others won't.
Also, you need to not only install and run these applications, but use their
built in update features before you scan with them, otherwise you are
scanning with out of date definitions. Also, immunize with Spybot Search
and Destroy and SpywareBlaster.
