I loaded and ran Spybot, MS-Antispyware Beta and Ad-Aware (free ware),
in that order.

Spybot seemed to find many files, most of which were old cookies. I
thought I told Spybot to fix them. I then ran MS-Antispy and it found
nothing.

Then I ran Ad-Aware and it found some things similar to what Spybot had
found and even remnants of the old blaster virus. It's possible that
Spybot did not fix what it was supposed to fix, but I'm not sure.
