Deanna - my wife's laptop was in the same place last month. I used AdAware, that shredder thing, and Microsoft's AV program. It helped, but not 100%. Then I posted here and someone sent me to 2 web sites that had online AV checkers. Those seemed to do the trick. Simply search the archives for my plea for help and you will find the sites. They really do work - but they are a bit slow.
