Have you read my NOTICE about the recent problems I had with spyware?

There is a link to the Spywareinfo website where the step-by-step proceedure is discussed that helped me to remove my spyware. If you follow a similar routine, you should be able to get rid of anything you may have picked up.

I use Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware, both of which are free.

Is Spybot S&D a realtime scanner, or just a scan on demand like the free Ad-Aware?

Spybot S&D is both a scan on demand and a resident agent, depending on how it's set up.
