Hi Andrew, Try a free trial of CounterSpy from Sunbelt Software.
'CounterSpy' (http://sunbelt-software.com/index.cfm)
(I have 4 adaware/spyware applications, two free and two paid for.)
Ad-Aware Personal, Spybot, Pest Patrol & CounterSpy.
The two free one's have a success rating of 50%, CounterSpy beats them
all, 93% success rating.
Go to downloads and get the trial version.
Best,
Treeman
