			I just use IEs build in one and also Google task bar. Don't kill all pup ups but does a fair job.
Just do a scan on your PC to make sure you havent got a trojan too

			Could it be spyware/malware lego?
I got hit with this one last year
Spyware guard 2008  link
Kept giving spyware found messages and virus scan messages.
Was missed by adaware , spybot , avg and a few others but malwarebytes picked it up
Malwarebytes link Illegitimi non carborundum

			for searching registry i use this
http://www.macecraft.com/ 
use it at work and home, absolutely awesome. cleans out all ya old crap, helps get rid of software that doesnt have uninstaller.
and for what u need it for, searching your registry, every last bit of it to find any hidden key from BS malware etc.
as for spyware scans i see that u used a few but you didnt say you used malwarebytes like slarti suggested and thats a good one! gets a lot of things others dont. soz if ya have used it!
