I beg to differ on the programs always picking up on the adware, as based on my own experience and formal malware removal training, malware can hide in tasks, temp areas, browser extensions, and other places on your system. Scrap low-scoring Spybot.
Your OS/web browser(s) could be hijacked. Update MBAM and Avast!, boot to Safe Mode with Networking, and run a full MBAM and Avast scan. You might be surprised. There are also some great forums where you can request a free, comprehensive system analysis:
GeeksToGo.com, BleepingComputer.com and others.
Sorry for the OT everyone...
