Spyware it isn't detecting - Same Thing

These (and others) keep reappearing after each boot:

ICanNews
Transponder ABetterInternet.Aurora
Transponder ABetterInternet
Transponder ABetterInternet.Cerex
Delfin Project
CallingHome.biz
HotSearchBar
VX2
PromulGate

I won these prizes with one inadvertant click.

I use these programs in this sequence:

MS AntiSpyware
Spybot S&D
Ad-Aware SE Personal
CounterSpy (demo)

A window tries to load up now and then with this URL:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Local%
20Settings/Temp/~wmvtmp5/index.html
(any idea what this may be connected with?)

I just got into this today and I'm pretty green at this so
I apologize for any dumb or redundant posting.
 
Hello Jim

If all the previus tools don't help( assuming you try on
safe mode), I personal go for Hijackthis.
Specialised assistance is available via the Hijackthis
forum at http://forum.aumha.org - make sure you read the
top announcements about pre-post steps you should take
before generating a hijackthis log.

Since HijackThis does not (yet) come with a install
routine, create a folder via Windows Explorer for
HijackThis, then move the file to this folder. This way
any backups created are saved in a legit folder. I've seen
too many instances where the user runs HijackThis from a
temp folder and any backups are lost if that temp folder
is cleaned out. You should also make sure you are using
the latest version each and every time you run HijackThis,
as there are new detections added all the time.

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change
into a "Save Log" button.
Click: "Save Log" (generates: "hijackthis.log") HijackThis
Tutorial (recommended read)

Get HijackThis from
