I am using Win XP SP II with all updates along with MS Antispyware, Ad Aware, Spybot, Spywareblaster and Avast antivirus. Now adays when I scan with Ad Aware, it finds two critical objects which is not detected by any other program when scanning. Even after removal by Ad Aware, it is again seen the next time the pc is scanned. Please enlighten me. The following is ths screen shot.
