  It means you still have the spyware.

  I used

  Adware

  SuperAntispyware (Free Edition)

  Install then and get there updates. But RUN them in Safe mode.

  Use CCleaner after you go online. All the time.

  precisescurity.com offres a free program to remove the anti-virus 2008 and 2009 orTry a online virus scan here are some address to try Safety.Live.com…TrendMicro.com…get some protection Comodo.com is offering a complete security suite free and yes they can be trusted if you want to do it yourself I recommend Avira.com along with Safer-Networking.org(spybot search&destory) or SpywareBlaster from majorgeeks.com or Lavasoft.com…MalwareBytes.org is another good one to consider althrough the last two don’t offer free protection some even recommend two anti-spyware scanners just to be on the safe side the other bit of advice i have to offer is external firewalls they hardwire to the machine with usb or firewire hook up now thats cutting edge tech.Remember paid is usally better than free however since Comodo.com kind offer that may not be the case anymore
