We say this a lot here--but let me speak to my experience today with a
reasonably well-infested machine.
It had a long list--perhaps 10 different items. I cleaned them, in normal
mode, and they all appeared to be cleaned successfully. However, new
symptoms kept appearing.
I then restarted the machine in safe mode, and a scan found an additional
two items not found before, and cleaned them.
Even after that cleaning, I still got popups, neatly labled either "ceres"
or "aurora."
I've written other messages about cleaning that final critter, so I won't
repeat it--Microsoft Antispyware didn't see it at all, except that portions
of it were visible to the System Explorers--but the main portion that
regenerated the other pieces was not. For that I needed an antivirus
application to identify the executable, and a boot to a maintenance OS--in
this case the Recovery Console--to actually remove it.
So--try safe mode first--and if you still get things, come back!
