I've had the same conumdrum. My spyware was installed
accidentally as components from programs that came with a
computer magazine. I downloaded Spysweeper, which seemed
to work at first, then came the Messenger Service Pop Ups,
which are apparently caused by Spyware so I re-formatted
my Hard Drives and tried again by re-installing my
operating System and Programs, Guess What. Still there.
I'm seeking a solution if ever you find it too.
