SpyBot will remove some things Ad-Aware leaves behind, and vise-versa.

Same thing happened to me, tried Adaware and SpyBotremover. It wasn't 'til I found "HiJackThis" and used it, that I could get rid of it.
Had to use it a week later for another search hijacker got into my browser via the registry.

Run Spybot as well. I had a nearly disastrous Trojan, spyware, hijacking infection last week that took me 3 1/2 days and countless reboots to combat and conquer using 2 spyware removal programs and three anti-virus products, the best of which finally cleaned it up and started acting like a virus afterwards grabbing 99% of the CPU cycles, so I had to remove it. Ad-aware alone and AVG which I had started out with and which should have protected me just wouldn't do it. And guess what? I didn't download anything for about a week prior to the infection, didn't open any e-mail attachments and didn't visit any porno sites.

Hmmm . . . Give SpyBot a try, too. It'll just take a few minutes. I think SpyBot is slightly better. It's faster, and updating your spyware definitions is a lot easier, imo.
