When you do the scan to look up these files, make sure your search is not restricted to one driver. Allow search in all drivers and ports.

try spybot S&D it is a good program. I know how you feel, my comp, has these 4 adware programs that won't go away.

You need to enable "View Hidden files and folders"

Control Panel > Folder Options > view tab > click the radar button "Show hidden files and folders"
