Keyloggers!

...

Spyware doctor scanned my computer and told me I have two "keylog-sters" on my computer, as well as "tracking cookies", "advertising", and "known bad sites".

I quarantined and deleted them.

That was yesterday. It auto-scanned this morning, found the exact same files still on my computer. Quarantined them, deleted them.

Scanned it again to be sure, and they are still fricking there!

So i have two keyloggers amongst other shiz on my computer that I can't get rid of!

Anyone... got any ideas?

I use my PC for online banking and everything, it's really worrying.

By the way:
-Norton AV found nothing.
-Spybot S&E found nothing.
-Norton Security Scan found nothing.
-AVG found nothing.
 
I fixed it. It was super simple to fix as well, I dunno why Spyware Doctor couldn't fix it. All I did was delete my cookies, and it fixed. I dunno if that means it wasn't a real keylogger, or if it just meant the keylogger was in my cookies folder or what.

@Cruelty: I tried that just, it wont let me install the trial as I have AVG installed. I don't want to risk having no AV at all (as I can't really afford to upgrade the trial once it's over) so for now I'll stick with AVG.
 
Strange...I also use Spyware Doctor but it never did that. My only real problem at one point was that rogue antispyware kept getting in (System Doctor, Errorsafe, ect.) and Spyware Doctor kept removing it. I completely remove and reinstall IE7 while using good old Firefox and I did not get it any more. A good idea next time is to make sure Spyware Doctor is up to date and that System Restore is disabled (if your computer has it) since some viruses and their ilk tend to copy themselves into it to make sure they live.
