The spyware indicates that it has detected subject adware
nearly every time it executes. I can't believe I'm
getting this adware reinstalled every day. Is there any
way to rectify this?
 
Please provide feedback if this is working.

1) Open up AntiSpyware
2) Click Tools at the top
3) Click "Submit a Suspected Spyware Report"
4) Fill out the form with as much detail so they can
analyze quickly, Feel free to say what you've got in place
and have tried, and that it didn't work

Boot to Safe Mode.

Empty your IE cache and your other temporary file
folders, eg: c:\temp, c:\windows\temp or C:\Documents and
Settings\<name>\Local Settings\Temp (the path to your temp
folder will change depending on your name) - sometimes
programmes can be hidden in there - watch out for
mysterious *.exe files or *.dll files in those folders.

Have you tried scanning with Microsoft Antispyware in safe
mode?
Run a FULL SYSTEM SCAN, check the 3 boxes

Assuming that the installation is on drive C:
1. In "My Computer", right click on the icon for drive C:,
select "Properties".
2. Click tab "Tools".
3. Click button "Check Now".
3. Check both "Automatically fix file system errors"
and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors".
4. Click "Start".

Follow the instructions to allow system shut-down and
restart. The disk checks will run after restart and
before Windows loads. This scan for bad sectors might
take few minutes if you have a large hard disk: be patient.

Assuming that the installation is on drive C:
1. In "My Computer", right click on the icon for drive C:,
select "Properties".
2. Click tab "Tools".
3.Click button "Defragment Now".
4.Click Defragment.
