Id be more inclined to try anti viruses than adaware as it sounds more like a bug than spy ware

if i ever get stuff like that i do all of the above what you have done but also i go back to restore point just before it started happening, plus i run norton systemworks 2003 to find anything untoward.

Last resort is a full format and installation of windows :( but that is usually the best way to get rid of crap like that from happening.
