    Not sure what your issues are so only general advise can be offered.

    Assuming spybot is up to date I would reboot in safe mode and run it again to see if anything is picked up. Then after rebooting normally I would download a free copy of AVG anti-spyware and free copy of adaware. Again run these in safe mode to see if anything pops up. I tend to find that the different applications find different issues.

    If you have an up to date anti-virus run that as well. If not then download something like AVG ant-virus free edition and run that (takes a while). If you don't have a software firewall download zonealarm free edition and learn how to use it (not too difficult). have fun:)

    He/she's just following that sticky. Quite a bit to do if you've not done it before. Anyway, this'll bump it a bit, not that I'm bored or anything......
