Ack. I haven't run Ad-Aware for sooooo long. Running it now and it's finding a good bit of crappage I've got to clean up. Sigh.

Another good one to run is CCleaner, I ran that for the first time and cleaned out 800 megs of junk and tossed a couple hundred useless registry keys.

Make sure to uncheck Cookies and such if you use them, it will wipe them out by default. And when you clean the registry, do it a couple of times, cause subsequent scans find dead entries that referenced the dead entries prior to that.
