    I wouldn't install Spybot Bot and AD-Aware . Just be careful of what you download . If anything double check if you could uncheck the toolbars that come with some free software .

    Yeah I didn't install Spybot this time per recommendations here.

    You mean Ad-Aware the antivirus program? I use some Ad-blocking addons with Chrome which are a lifesaver. (Hope you don't mean those!)

    I never download or visit anything dubious whatsoever, so it's still a mystery how my OS got so corrupted..

    I also follow most of the steps in these optimization guides, could anything there be causing problems?

    Ad-aware is a old spyware program from LavaSoft . The plugin for Chrome Adblock plus is fine
