Post to a Spyware forum.  It isn't coming from Microsoft, and besides, ME has been 
out of support for years now.  No more updates/patches so you will either have to 
upgrade or suffer, as all prevention apps will not, or won't be supporting versions 
of spyware detection on Win 9X either (or will stop in the near future if they still 
do).  By it's very nature, Win 9X can't be secured as well as NT/W2K/XP so support 
is being dropped by everyone especially since it is no longer supported by MS.

You probably have more infections then what you are aware of at the moment.  Sorry, 
it's called progress I guess....  Might post to the Spybot forum for the best assistance, 
but don't expect much.  We don't do spyware and viruses here, at least not supposed 
to as it is considered off topic...

BTW, the newest version of Adaware doesn't support Win 9X that I know of.  Only older 
version of spyware programs will run on Win 9X and they aren't being updated to handle 
the newest malware so you shouldn't expect your system to be protected.  Just updating 
the definitions is not enough, the programs themselves have to be updated which isn't 
being done for Win 9X.  FF is also included in this.  The newest version of FF won't 
support Win 9X either.  Even if it does run, it is looking for NT to be able to be 
effective.  It can't interface properly so it won't work correctly on Win 9X and 
it's updates will be useless and can't protect you..  Sorry..  :-(
