I picked up some spyware earlier today. I searched some earlier threads and I believe i was able to get rid of most of it using Ad Aware. But I continue to get a System Alert bubble from my task bar. It pops up every 5 minutes or so. Anyone have any ideas how to kill it?

If i click on the bubble or the flashing question mark on the task bar, it takes me to a site that is trying to sell me SpyDawn.

Thanks in advance,

I had one like that. I can't remember the name now. The only thing I found that could get rid of it was a nice long re-format. It disabled Nortons too. Spybot S&D found ti for me.
 
I figured it out. Needed to run SmitFraudFix in safe mode and remove the files. Thanks for the suggestions.
