Hey Ed,
Make sure you have the most recent version of Spybot. They issued new definitions in March. Then send the guy (in Germany!) some cash. :-)
Also, besides installing themselves as .exe files (which can't be removed if they're running), I've discovered that some spyware also installs "supporting" .dll files. (The only way I've found these "supporting" files is by manually sifting thru the same directories the .exes are found in.) If you run into this, you'll need to rename both types of files with new extensions & reboot. When you do that, the parasites won't be able to initialize & you can then go back & delete 'em.
Stinger is a decent free anti-virus from the MacAfee site, but it's always pretty outdated (hey, waddaya want for nothin'?) If you don't already have it, you'll save yourself a lot of (future) headaches by biting the bullet & getting Norton's a/v.
