Disable Sys restore.
Get the trial of either Kaspersky or NOD32 and do a full scan.
Grab this http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html and post the results in http://www.hijackthis.de/ that should tell you anything dodgy to remove.

Hi,

Just asked our AV Research team.. from your description they suggested that you might not actually be infected, see here;

A full system scan with latest AV definitions should pick anything, and as modo77 mentioned a double check with hijackthis is definitely a good idea.

Rgds.

Edit.. here's an interesting breakdown of just how sneaky some 'infections' are... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/08/22/anatomy_of_a_hack/

Wouldn't hurt to install a trial of NOD and scan with that too tho just to be sure.

I'd download and run Smitfraudfix from the desktop after disabling system restore and restarting in safe mode. Antivirus progs are pretty hopeless at detecting malware tbh.
Make sure you haven't got any files you need in any directory named temp or tmp as smitfraud will delete them.
