Firstly, does your current spyware removal tool tell you you pc is infected or do you get that infected message on the net as a popup or online advertisement like [Your pc is infected click here to buy and scan now?]

If these are advertisements telling you your comp is infected, DO NOT trust them. Get yourself Lavasoft Ad-aware and Spybot Search & Destroy
Both of these are Free and do a very good job but they don't catch all of it. Remember the first thing to do if you use them is to check the update section in the program that will fetch the latest definitions so the app. is more effective.
I've had no progblems with either program except for one occasion neither of them found something that I knew for sure was there. My browser wasn't acting right so I found a program called Pest Patrol which found and succesfully got rid of the bad registry entrants. Pest patrol wasn't free bur is easily found full version *hint suprnova . org apps section

A good site is http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/cwschronicles.html <-They have info on removing various types of mal/spyware ranging from browser hijacks to common spyware infection.

It may also help (if you already don't have) to get a popup blocker. Some reliable and free blockers are
Google Toolbar
Panicware Popup Stopper Free Edition

About Spyware removal. WARNING. DO NOT dl and install a program called SpyHunter...from what I've read, it's supposed to be anti-spy software but is actually spyware.
It is a known carrier of MORE spyware. If you have or know anyone that uses Spyhunter, it can only do more harm so remove it immediately. There have been also reports of people having trouble removing it.
