Answer 1

You need to get a top notch antispyware program.  You can follow some lengthy instructions for doing this manually and it might work this time, but what about the next time?  

If you've gotten infected once and continue to rely on free antispyware programs, you are fighting a neverending battle.  

My advice - fork out the $30 for a good spyware remover and then you won't have to worry about it anymore.

I recommend Spyware Doctor - it's top of the line and has won numerous awards.
