I was thinking a possible infection also. Since you tried a clean install by removing
it and reinstalling, forget that idea.
Even though you've ran some scans, there may still be something leftover that doesn't
show up in the regular scans. Do you have any idea what the spywares were? I suggest
running Hijack This then post the log here. Download this program also, and clear
out all your temp folders, etc. CCleaner
Before running it, click Options and specify any Cookies you don't want removed.
Don't use the Issues section. It's a registry cleaning feature, so that's irrelevant.
Get rid of any older versions of HJT and download the current one:Hijack This 1.99.1
 Unzip 'Hijack This' into it's own folder.
Example: C:\HJT. It creates backups, and they're automatically saved in the same
location. Disconnect from the net and close all open windows. Run 'HJT' and Click
"Do a system scan and save a logfile". Note: most of the entries in HiJack This will
be harmless or even essential. Don't fix anything yet.
Once the scan is finished, the log will automatically open in Notepad. Select all
and copy/paste the entire log here. Please check this box (below message window)
before posting the log: "Check this box to preserve your spacing, or leave it
unchecked to have your text wrapped automatically...."
