> Malwarebytes + Spybot S&D combo so far never fails me.

Agreed. You should make sure that you run the "immunize" step in Spybot too after updating Spybot with the latest definitions.

Also, once you get your machine clean, there's a few simple things you can do to help protect yourself in the future...

1) Start using Firefox along with the AdBlockPlus plugin...
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
One of the biggest attack vectors for malware is through flash-based ads and/or popups and AdBlockPlus stops 99.9% of them.

2) Change your router to use OpenDNS as your DNS provider. They block a lot of sites that are known to distribute malware. It's free, you don't need to sign up or download and install anything. You just need to manually configure these DNS servers in your router:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
