Hijacked Browser Remnants

My computer has been infested with conduit.com malware. I have removed the mixi dj toolbar, the conduit.com program from the control panel, two rogue files cftmon.exe, a ton of adware. I have run scans with Norton Power Erasure, Microsoft Malicious Tool Remover, Kapersky, Malwarebytes and about 10 other programs (many of these multiple times), but have been unable to remove the last problem. That is that as soon as I type anything in the address bar of a browser (Firefox) the malware wipes it out. And if I am able to bring up a desired web page, after a minute or 2 the window reverts to the first page that I opened. If I type something in a Google Search field, the malware will often (but not always) wipe it out. Or if I start an email message, it may wipe out the text. Or if I'm in a Word document, before long it will wipe out the text. This all has been going on for weeks. I thought I had solved the problem twice, but each time "they're back".


By the was my Dell has a OS System Restore feature which I've tried 5 or 6 times, but each time the problem returns. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (Short of wiping out the hard drive and loading a new OS.)
