I was told by an IT guy once that it is best to run 2 or more different spyware removal programs because advertisers often pay to have their stuff overlooked. I don't know if there is any truth to this, but I run Spybot and Giant Anti-Spyware (Now Microsoft Anti-Spyware) and what one doesn't detect the other does. I am gonan try running both in safe mode after turning off system restore....
