"Sweetpacks" Malware

After downloading and installing a solitaire-type game yesterday, my PC was infested by the SWEETPACKS Virus/Malware/BadThing.



It added a Sweetpacks toolbar to my Internet browser, made its own Search page my Browser's Home page, and who-knows-whatall.



I performed a full scan of my PC for Malware, after making sure I had the most current Malware definitions files.



It found, IIRC, 155 infected objects, Most of them named PUP-something.



I removed all of them, rebooted, and STILL had the Sweetpacks Toolbar and Home page. I then reset my browser's Advanced Internet Options to their defaults, and rebooted again. All seems normal now, but I stress "seems".
