Re: pc scanners
The top 3 links are antivirus\malware scanners and removers. The other two links are things I use to stop spyware\adware\malware getting on to my system in the first place.
So have you already tried avg and it didnt find anything?

Avg often misses stuff, try spybot its more designed on adware removal http://www.safer-networking.org/en/spybotsd/index.html

Re: pc scanners
Spybot
Adaware
AVG
Nod 32
Usually sorts the buggers out.
