Have you tried disconnecting from a live connection and running these spyware removal software? This way you don't introduce more spyware while you're scanning. Of course do an update prior to disconnecting your connection.

This sounds like:

a) Lack of Firewall (get Sygate Personal Firewall: http://smb.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm). The very best you can do is to use a real firewall though (I mean a hardware one).

b) Usage of Internet Explorer (use Mozilla or Firefox: www.mozilla.org)

c) Use of programs that come with spyware. Examples are DivX codecs for Windows (www.divx.com). There's not much you can do in cases like these...

d) Anti-spyware identify also a few cookies as being spyware. If that truly annoys you, disable cookies from your browser. Some sites won't allow you to use features as "Saving your password", and in extreme cases, you won't be able to navigate some sites by doing that...

The choice is yours young padawan

'How to eliminate the spyware ?' and 'spyware?' threads have been just merged. I prefer one thread about removing spyware than two.

have you tried finding out where your annoying spyware is coming from and not installing it in the first place. even on windows 98 things rarely install themselves.

Finally, I see that on the other thread you made, someone made the suggestion that you take your spyware question about Windows to the real and true authority on that yucky stuff. The forums at www.spywareinfo.com I suggest you sub to their email newsletter to keep up on the jerks of the world as well.
