Unfortunately there are numerous malware that are not detected by Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware or any of the other large spyware removal tools. To really be clean you need to be checking for browser helper objects (try BHODemon), unwanted processes (through Task Manager or a more advanced replacement) and of course startup registry keys (a quick way to do this is by Start > Run > "msconfig" and checking the Startup tab... and then Googling each of those .EXEs to find out what they are).
