There is a new "toolbar" which got past Spybot, and alwil's Avast antivirus (quite good programming actually since both have kept my computer bullet proof for over a year).

It is called idesk, it places a multiple "offer" "toolbar" on the desktop that keeps loading with windows start-up, and also reloads additional spyware tracking cookies. Quite the versital little program.

The only current anti spyware programs out there that even recognize it are advertised by it (go figure) in the toolbar.

I would love to see Safer Networking address this, as all I have read says this is a new ap, just beginning to annoy folks.
