CONTINUOUS RE-INFECTION

Today I installed Microsoft Beta 1 AniSpyware to help solve some spyware issues. It found many items that Norton, CWShredder, SpyBot, etc could not find much less delete. Unfortunately I need your advice again as to how to finally remove 5 items that manage to keep re-installing themselves. They are:
 
SEP ADWARE; (15 signatures) this seems to be the worst of the 5.
 
Esyndicate (9 signatures)
 
MidAddle
 
SearchExeHijacker
 
IEPlugin
 
Any help/guidance is appreciated. Thanks

Start from uninstalling beta software from the production box. :)

Then see this:

Good Luck!

The reason of reinfection is going to the site where the stated spyware are which then secretly auto install through internet explorer onto your computer.You need to use firefox and also spywareblaster

DD,

After following JameZ advice, post up a HiJackThis log for analysis, and we'll see if any of those are still present in your system log.

Was finally able to download HJT. Since I'm such a novice please instruct me on how to post my HJT this log and also how to create its own folder.  As per the instructions I went to my C: drive, Explore, right click an open area in the main pane, New>Folder,Type HJT & enter. Was this correct as after I downloaded HJT it downloaded but a message appeared to move it from a temporary file. How do I do this? Thanks!

DD5a4a,
 
  Download, then unzip to " C:\HJT", the newest version of HiJackThis; version 1.99.0. Now, let's do the following: 
   
  1.  Click " Scan" 
  2.  Click " Save log" 
   
  Notepad will pop-up with a copy of your system long, then: 
   
  1.  " Edit | Select all" 
  2.  " Edit | Copy" 
   
  Next, let's " Reply" back to this post, then: 
   
  1.  Right-click on the message body. 
  2.  Select " Paste" 
   
  Then just " Post" the message, and we'll analyze your log shortly, then post back any recommendation(s).
 
 
Mike.
