Another tip for spyware removal, I work, during the summer, at University of Notre Dame removing mal/spy etc. ware from students computers for the upcoming year, my father also works at this year round, when you are running spybot and adaware and spysweeper etc, make sure you pull your network connection/phoneline or whatever else. Certian peices of spyware will actually corrupt adaware or spybot or even norton/mcafee, turning them into mal ware of some sort, this is always done upon removing them, they have keys in the registry that detect when you kill them then go ou and download the real bad guy by themselves. if you pull the cable when you uninstall everything and only put it back when you are totally finished and have reboooted 2x, then that wont happen, and the mopre annoying spyware wont redownload itself either. I'm done talking now.
