CWS_NS3 - Can't seem to get rid of it!!!

[Guest]

Okay, I've been fighting this critter for a couple of weeks now and am getting really frustrated!

I have been hit by CWS_NS3 hijacker/adware, but nothing I do seems to get rid of it. I've run/am running:
Adware, SPySweeper, Hijackthis, CWS Shredder, NAV, Ad Buster. I am also running Norotn Internet Security 2004 and have really locked my system down. Every time I think I've gotten rid of it, it seems to reappear out of nowhere. I just can't seem to isolate where this bug is residing on my system (I'm running XP Home, and have run ALL patches and updates) Nothing I do seems to totally eliminate this critter.

Anyone have any ideas or luck in eraticating this nasty little cyber-roach??
