Sorry m8, if that and ad-aware don't do it....
Only things I can think of are: Have you updated ad-aware ? Download other clean-up s/w like ad-aware, could be something new that ad-aware is not aware of (LOL).
I also run something called winpatrol (think it's free) which warns me whenever some software tries to install itself so that it runs on startup. Also give you a list of everything that loads on start up so you can disable/delete stuff you don't want.
Might be worth giving it a try.
Godd luck

You might also just want to delete your internet cache too: In IE click Tools/Internet Options/ and click delete files and delete cookies.

Sounds like your PC is infected Matt. Check the task manager for any running progs you dont recognise or it could be something hidden away in the registry.
Either way an update on Ad-Aware or
Spybot search and destroy, or Webroot's Spysweeper should search and kill it.
I have both the above progs zipped if it helps.
