all about searching removal

We picked up a raft of spy and ad programs as well as toolbars from "all about searchin.com". We ran SpyBot Search and Destroy, which removed most of the mess, but after restarting, we got several popups and error messages. We installed a mozilla browser because IE seems to be infected. This stuff keeps coming back. How can we remove it? Some of this looks llegit.
