This Adware is usually the result of browsing practices. Your OS sits below, way below.

You have certain practices (browsing certain sites) that install adware. You clean the machine, through Spybot. You browse that certain site and... the Adware gets installed again.

Depending on the degree of infection, certain Adware is not something that worries that much. Simply run Spybot on your disk.
