Answer 1

Take a deep breath. Now, the problem is that it is in the registry. The only way you are going to get rid of this persistent bad boy is to reboot into safe mode. From there you can use whatever spyware/malware tool you like and you should have quite a bit more success than trying to clean when boot into the full windows os. Good luck.

Answer 2

Googled "Adware.RogueSuspect" turned up a walkthrough for someone that had your exact same problem, whos had it resolved.  I won't take credit for someone else's work, so here's the link.

Answer 3

  Also once you get it out, purge your System Restore and run a defrag while System Restore is turned off.  Thhis will remove any of the stuff that system restore may have saved and it will save some of the trojans and c**p they have going around now. That is why when you get rid of them and then turn the computer back on they are back.

it has a backup program! scan with a dedicated anti-spyware to destroy the backup! by the way if you haven't got an anti-spyware dont delete the virus, just keep it in the virus vault!

Both should sort that adware better than AVG, which is frankly c**p for anything but actual viruses.
