Tonight I ran the faithful old Spybot Search and Destroy, and I had 23 spyware nasties. This time I finally think I've fixed what's been wrong with my computer. It was the Windows Active Desktop that had the registry entry changed to W! (what the???). I guess it was that causing the terrible desktop experience I've had for the last few weeks. Surprisingly, neither Spyware Doctor nor AVG's AntiSpyware caught it.
I was so sure I'd fixed the computer last night, and was horrified when the desktop started it's mad flickering today, and both web browsers started going crazy on me again. I could have cried, it's been such a frustrating experience.
...Well, after reading another forum post, I'm not so sure I've fixed the problems after all. This registry entry ending: NoHTMLWallPaper!=W=1, has been written about extensively.
21 of the entries that Spybot found were to do with the Zango Toolbar, also associated with Incredimail, which was left behind after I did an uninstall. Maybe it was that. They're gone now, and God I hope my problems are gone too.
