Download and run HijackThis http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/ have it scan and
save log file and post that log to one of the help forums listed on
tomcoyote. You can also scan the log yourself and copy and suspect
processes into google for information. You might also install the following
programs and see if they are more successful (none of the available
antispyware programs are 100%.)

CWShredder (download the stand alone version.)

Spybot Search and Destroy

Ad-Aware

and you might also install SpywareGuard

Remember to update definitions manually for all these programs.
