I have now run AVG 7, MS Antispyware (beta), AdAware SE, and Spybot
S&D 1.3; all in Safe Mode, and all reporting clear. However, the Panda
Activescan (online) still reports 2 "spyware infections," in the
Windows Registry.
They are reported as SAHAgent (online shopping?) and Searchcentrix
(toolbar and startpage hijacker). (I have corrected the toolbar and
start page,
with no further trouble).

I have tried all the manual removal methods; Control Panel >
Add/Remove Programs; Windows\xxxUninstall.exe; Windows\System32;
Downloaded Program Files\
{xxx-xxx-xxx}; the Registry - HKLM\\Uninstall, HKLM\\\Run, HKCU\\\Run,
but there are no references to anything suspicious.

Could the antispyware have cleaned them out, but left references to
them in the hidden "_system" folder. And are they stuck there for
ever?
