In addition to AdAware, try the following.  You mentioned "Spybot", but there are 
several programs with names similar to Spybot Search ad Destroy that are actually 
spyware themselves.  Make sure you have the real thing.

Also, you MUST disable system restore before running these.

Download, install, UPDATE, and run:
    Spybot Search & Destroy 
    SpywareGuard
    Spyware Blaster
(Make sure to use the update feature of these programs often.)


Download UPDATE and run:
    CWShredder


It is important to run ALL of these programs, as each do something different.
    

Before running these, do the following:

Delete temp internet files and history.


Disable system Restore.

When finished, 
Turn system Restore back on.
