I went through your suggestions as described but the problem

When at the end i went to the updating there was one update for
Defender and the Cumalative Security Update. Only the Defender
update downloaded. My question now is, what makes Super Antispyware
any better than the Avast Antivirus program or AdAware that i now
run?

It would be better if you answered the questions as well... ;-)

There is no single AntiSpyware/AntiMalware application out there that cleans
up everything. LavaSoft Ad-Aware is good - but not all-inclusive.
SuperAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes cleans up some things that are more common
right now where Lavasoft Ad-Aware and SpyBot Search and Destroy might not
even detect.

Avast has little to nothing to do with spyware/adware/malware in that
sense - although it may detect some things. It is an
AntiVirus/AntiTrojan/AntiWorm application.

Thanks so far.
The system is XP Home, SP.3 Avast AntiVirus/AdAware Antispyware/Windows
Defender.
For ordinary mortals such as myself one has no alternative but to ensure the
Virus/Antispam etc. programs that one has installed are up to date. One
blindly has to trust that the system can do what it says. If i am to follow
you through whatever you suggest, then i will have to deactivate my present
programs and install the ones you recomend. Can you guarantee that by so
doing the problem will be resolved?
Naturally no. So where are we? Jules.
