Vincyman,
I don't think you got anything from Grisoft, except a good antivirus
program.
You might try running "Hijack This" and see what it finds.
Get HijackThis to help with diagnosing problems. Follow the advice:
http://mjc1.com/mirror/hjt/ and put your log into SpywareInfo.
Did you "Update" Ad-Aware and SpyBot Search and Destroy after
you installed them. They both have to be updated to get the latest
detections.
HTH,
Tom
