If malwarebytes doesn't resolve your problem then I'd suggest heading over to http://forums.majorgeeks.com/ (Malware Removal section assuming that is the issue).

I would recommend you move to Avira ( http://www.free-av.com ) or Microsoft Security Essentials ( http://www.microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/ ) and Malwarebytes ( http://www.malwarebytes.org ). All of which are free ;)

Turn off 'System Restore' if it's on, and you might like to try Superantispyware too.

Or if you like Comodo try their internet security suite (firewall and anti-virus), ive been using it for ages and find it fairly good. It has a free version (which is the one I use).

I still use CCleaner and Malwarebytes periodically aswell, maybe once a month or so.

I doubt it: Mcafee Avert Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system.
