I keep getting constant shortcuts on my desktops/bookmark list linking to ads and such. I tried using Ad-Aware6, which removed some types of spyware/adware but it still hasn't solved my problem. Can anyone suggest anything?

I know it came from -iMesh-, a program alot like Kazza, I just un-installed it today and did another scan, ~caught some others. However it wouldn't stop, one time I had to reformat but I don't want to have to do that again.

That seemed to clean up a ton of things, including spyware Ad-Aware didn't catch, thanks.
