Hi lshoffma,
Have you tried HijackThis? I think it may help you.

Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites: HijackThis:
"Editors Note: Since HijackThis does not (yet) come with a install
routine, create a folder via Windows Explorer for HijackThis, then
move the zip file to this folder. This way any backups created are
saved in a legit folder. I've seen too many instances where the user
runs HijackThis from a temp folder and any backups are lost if that
temp folder is cleaned out. You should also make sure you are using
the latest version each and every time you run HijackThis, as there
are new detection added all the time.
- Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".
- When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a
"Save Log" button.
- Click: "Save Log" (generates: "hijackthis.log") HijackThis Tutorial
(recommended read)
- Next, go to: http://www.spywareinfo.com/forums/
- Sign in, go to the "Spyware and Hijackware Removal" section.
- Press "New Topic", copy and paste hijackthis.log into your new message.
Visiting the SpywareInfo Forum or one of the other recommended Forums,
to finish cleaning up your system is highly recommended. As neither
Ad-Aware or SpyBot can no longer completely remove these pests. This
is mainly due to new daily threats and the use of random generated
filenames used by these parasites!"

Please let me know if that helps.
Good luck!
