Brian,
Try:
http://www.aumha.org/a/parasite.htm
with particular attention to installing and running:
CWShredder,
Spybot Search & Destroy 1.3,
AdAware (SE has now replaced version 6),
Hi Jack This,
About Buster,
Spywareblaster.
Use at least 2 of these online anti-virus scanners
Trend Micro - Free online virus Scan
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
McAfee Security - FreeScan
http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/mfs/default.asp
Symantec Security Check
http://security.symantec.com/ssc/home.asp
Panda ActiveScan - Free online scanner
http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm
Some infections can be more persistent than others, so see how the tools
suggested
work to start with.
Hope this helps,
Chek
