Hi,
if the latest definition files for AdAware and Spybot don't detect any problems, you might try PestPatrol. Sometimes, it is able to detect malware AdAware or Spybot don't recognize. Unfortunately, it's not free, but there's a free online scanner for your computer available on their homepage. I *think* you have to use IE and enable ActiveX to be able to use it, though (haven't tried it yet).
If you feel uncomfortable with an unknown program scanning your PC via Internet, or if PestPatrol is unable to solve your problem, you might try HijackThis. It's a tool that scans specific parts of the registry and writes it to a logfile. You then can use the automatic analyzation script on the site, or post the logfile to one of the fora linked to there, to let more experienced users help you remove the malware.
Hope that helps, and good luck!
