I have also run Ad aware, spybot and they have not helped. So I hope you can. Please help, thanks.

Spysweeper rules. Get it.

Copy any files you are deleting to another folder. If something messes up you should be able to access your computer through safe mode or DOS and copy the saved files back to where they were.
Ya gotta be able to navigate thru DOS.
Or make sure you can get to safemode with a floppy etc.(before you do it)
Or.. get spysweeper.

A computer is a perfectionist's nightmare.
