We don't recommend using any sort of cracks or illegal software here. We are not here to pass judgment; however, we will warn you that engaging in this activity and having this kind of software installed on your machine will always make you more susceptible to re-infections. It may be contributing to your current situation.
I also see you have P2P software (i.e. µTorrent, Azureus, LimeWire) installed on your machine. Like cracked software, we are not here to pass judgment on file-sharing as a concept but it carries the same warnings --engaging in this activity and having this kind of software installed on your machine will always make you more susceptible to re-infections.
