Spyware removal, HELP

[Foxxy]

Is there ANY hope i could get rid of some spyware without formating?
To be specific i got Gator, Onflow and possibly a couple more im not aware of. How do i get rid of them?

However, the most annoying is SmartSearch. Ive tried everything i know, and it doesnt wanna go away!
Everytime i open IExplorer, it automatically loads, everytime i try to remove the URL it finds its way back in there.
Ive tried the following Spyware killers:

**SpyBot S&D
**AdAware
**HiJack This
**CW Shredder
**manually tried to remove it from regedit without any succes
So far, the problem is still here. Has anyone elese had this problem? If so, how did you remove it? Some help on this matter would be great

PS>> I'm a bit of a computer idiot at times, so if you need any information please be specific

Have you tried Spybot in Safe Mode?

If that doesn't get rid of it (it should, though... Spybot's never had any problems with Gator and SmartSearch), try SwatIt!. It's free and very in-depth (will take a while to scan an entire box).
