I really don't understand that error message from Housecall....when you get to the page, is there something telling you to load a plug-in? There may be, and you should.
I gotta tell you, I'm not looking forward to looking at 7 logs from this system. But I will, one at a time.
Make sure you keep track of which one's been cleaned, and which one hasn't. Run all these same tools on the user account first, before posting a HJT log.
Adware, Spybot, Ewido, CWShredder. I also have another idea to help us get some control. Uninstall that version of SpySweeper you have, as it scans only and won't help us.
I was able to find a link to a free trial version which does clean. I've just tested it on one of my test boxes. Try it out, and let me know how it goes....if possible, clean whatever it finds, save the session log, and post that and any Ewido log for each user account as we go through them.
