Ad-aware is pretty good-for being free, but it sometimes leaves some stones unturned. Go to download.com and look for something called "startupcontrol". Sometimes spyware and similar pest software start when the computer is started up and for whatever reason slip past ad aware. Startupcontrol allows you to look at a menu of what is trying to startup and select what programs run. I had a couple of files that I couldnt erase or rename until I blocked them from loading up. I'm not sure if this will be THE answer to your problem, but it may be a step in the right direction.
