try these as well

www.ccleaner.com (not strictly an adware remover, but will clean out any junk and temp files that may be hiding adware installers)

http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...e/default.mspx (Windows Defender, pretty good product and integrates with Automatic Updates)

www.theeldergeek.com (a website about services you can stop in XP that prevent some forms of spyware and adware being installed).

Cheers

Matt

Spybot is shit, detects zero when there is clearly something. I can run Spybot time and time again and it detects nothing, even when pony adaware comes up with things. As I said try Xoftspy

Everyone has preferences, boot your machine into Safe Mode and run the scans from there, less chance of them coming back. If you know how, check the run sections of your registry to get rid of any entries that look like they don't belong.
