Find and dowload adaware, spybot, and cwshredder.
Make sure you update before you run.
Delete or fix anything they recommend that you delete or fix.
Run them in safe mode.
NAV won't touch spyware.
I also like Zone Alarm in the loop.
Beyond that is a progran called Hijack This. That will run and then
print out your full registry.
A site called Computercops can analyze your registry for you. They are
very very busy so it takes a creative subject line to get their
attention sometimes.
Been there, done all this, things a lot better now but it was a lot of
work. I'm strictly an ameteur but am learning a lot on the subjec.
Also, Google mntbo.dll. May find some helpful hints there.

Good Luck
