You probably missed some adware. Try downloading Hijack This. Simple little program; instead of searching files and deleting ones it recognizes as malware, it will just give you a list of everything that starts when your computer starts (along with some IE plugins and whatnot). If something looks questionable, look up more about it. If it turns out to be bad, Hijack This can remove the commands that tell it to start. Note that it does not remove the adware from your computer - but adware's pretty much harmless when not started.
