I can't seem to get rid of this one thing I have. What spyware tools are good these days?

I got my first infection ever last week..

was something related to coolwebsearch called TROJ_1STBAR or similar..

I got rid of it using this http://www.intermute.com/products/spysubtract.html

plus adaware...

After a bit of mucking around I worked out adaware needed to be run twice btw, if that helps... once to clear most stuff out.... then again immediately after a re-boot to clear out remnants it cant clear out until TSR type programs it removed have been stopped with a reboot.

believe it or not, the Mirosoft spyware update has killed all spyware installs in its tracks.. it runs seamlessly, and doesnt bog down your PC
