Hi Peter,
In addition to the good utilities you've already tried, I've found
SuperAntiSpyware to be effective and non-invasive. I firmly believe that
one malware utility is not enough, although I think only one should be
"active" at a time. I agree that Revo Uninstaller is an excellent utility.
The most important thing, I would humbly suggest that you try running your
browser in a sandbox, using "Sandboxie". It prevents items from a browsing
session getting on your computer without your specific approval. It takes a
little getting used to, but I've found it well worth the effort. Hope you
get it fixed.
