If I may add to this, you should also get an anti-hijack type of prog. Such as HighjackThis or CWShredder. They help eliminate a few things that adware removal progs miss.

They take care of registry things and such, like certain adware changes your registry and hijacks your browser, sending you wherever it wants (definitally not a good thing).

Usually what I do, is run Ad-Aware every day (more if I browse a lot at one time), Spybot every 2 or 3 days, and CWShredder every week, since I started that regimine, I haven't had any probs whatsoever.
