Are you sure that it's not some other site? Use Microsoft antispyware with the realtime protection activated, and that should offed adequate protection.

Re: adware/spyware

I've never had a problem from this site. I run 3 programs right now, each one finds ones that the others don't: ad aware SE, Spy Bot S&D, and Microsoft anti spyware. But I've never seen anything from this site.

Oh, I get them from CH almost everytime I go to that site. When their site loads up, I see a quick flash on my screen and see a new window pop up in my taskbar below. So I'm willing to bet it's from there and not here.

Re: adware/spyware

Spyware will always be around, it could be from the ads that this web site has, but not necessarily from AF itself.

As far as removal is concerned it looks like you have it taken care of. But adware is now a permanent part of the internet and there is no way around it, sorry mate

Just having this page open, I blocked 5 3rd party cookies, here are the addresses. All seem to be advertising.
