Hey ever tried HiJackThis? I like it actually. It's a pretty advanced form of computer scanning for HiJacked applications set up for the internet. I forcibly deletes or resets application designed to go online. I read for at least an hour on how to use it until I understood it. This thing catches things my Ad Aware wont detect. You guys should look into HiJackThis
 
Hijack this

Hijack this is a great program!!! I used it after I my computer was viscously attacked by accidently visiting a rogue website. First I ran Ad-Aware and still had malware on my computer. Then I ran Spybot - Search and Destroy. It cleaned up almost everything but I still had a few stubborn items I could not get rid of. FInally, I was able to clean up everything by running Hijack This. Be careful though, it alters your registry.
 
HiJackThis does alter your registry IF and ONLY IF you choose to change things. It's a program for people who know what they are doing. If you want your values for any internet related programs to be changed, it will do so at the expense that you know what you are doing. You have to understand the key codes and the extension values listed... But I mean people can learn to use this, identify the programs that you know and etc... and take out the ones you dont know. Worst comes to worst, you're just resetting all your Internet values, it's not really like you're deleting things, just resetting them.

For a few others that spybot or adaware can't remove, HijackThis at http://www.download.com/HijackThis/3000-8022-10227352.html?tag=lst-0-1 works for me. You have to do your research to use this tool, though. Removing everything listed is definitely not recommended.

HijackThis is one of my favorites...It just scans your registry and lets you remove anything you want. Only reccomended for people who know their own computers...
