Had some problems with viruses and spyware recently on my PC. However though
I cleaned them up with Norton, Spybot and Adaware, I keep getting new ones.
I started checking my registry looking for backdoors / trojans and noticed
that I have some odd entires. Som of my Registry Folders are duplicated with
a dash following the name. 2 examples are: Run Once vs Run Once- and Run
Services vs another called Run Services-. Both have values in them. Is
this an indication that some other user is accessing my PC via backdoor and
that's how I keep getting infected?

Not knowing what you were infested/infected with - no one can say with 100%
certainty.

Given you are *not* experienced in the removal of said issue causing
things - you either should find someone who is and have them do it and/or
backup your important data (should do that consistently anyway) and wipe the
computer clean and install everything fresh.

Use MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware...
