evil adware..crappy tools

Running Bing

Okay I dont know where else to go so maybe someone here can help. I recently got infected with adware (well not me my computer). Anyway I downloaded ad-aware,spybot,spysweeper,spyware doctor and microsoft antispyware. I've ran scans with all of them (many times). Heres the problem every time I do a a scan and then remove the evil files they dont go away. For instance I run a scan remove the items found then immediately after run another scan and the same things come up again This happens with all the mentioned programs.


My second question is what is the purpose of adware? who the hell is going to buy a product thats advertised using adware? Thanks any help much appreciated.

Thanks but how exactly do I do that

Dinner

Right click My Computer > Properties > click on System restore tab > click box and apply

Thanks everyone I think that did the trick.

msconfig will show you list of programs starting up on computer startup, you could see if anything suspicious is there and remove it (in safe mode)
