unfortunately, while Mcafee is decent, it still doesn't spot everything and when it comes to spyware there are SO many different variations, there isn't one single program that can find them all.

IF you know that your system was compromised, I would be inclined to do a format/reinstall. It really is the only way to know for sure you got it all. It can be a complete pain, but so many hacks are so invasive you may never completely get rid of it and even if you do, you won't necessarily know.

I keep an image of a fresh install with all my needed programs already installed for just this reason. I can wipe everything and be back up and running in about 15 minutes.
