Run AdAware from Lavasoft. It should clean out 99% of everything, and then run Spybot after it since one will pick up what the other misses.

I have adaware, but something was blocking it from updating

. I've got it updating and re-running scan. I re-installed IE7, it runs the first time but the second time it runs, it brings up the critical error window, please download the program.

I'm making progress, I think...
