I recently had something get onto my computer that has installed a lot of adware.

I have Spybot Search and Destroy, Norton AV, Ad Aware, and Swat It.

I have run all of them, but something obviously can't be removed since I notice every time I go back into Ad-Aware another huge number of adware files is in there, so the main suspicious program has not been fully removed.

Any advice on what to do?

Buy it, because the freebie won't allow removal of the bots. $39.95 download.

google toolbar and Spyware Blaster seem to have kept a lot of bad guys from getting loaded - and they are both free...

I use ad-aware, spybot search and destroy, google toolbar and spyware blaster, and see a significantly lesser amt of files loading...
