Spigot Re-infection

[hifall2001]

A couple of months ago I got infected by Api.mybrowserbar.com Virus. Norton never caught it but a user on the Norton forums suggested Malwarebytes. I downloaded and installed the free product and sure enough Malwarebytes found and successfully quarantined it from my system. (Thank you MB!!)

 

During the scan, MB also turned up some files from Spigot which (I believe) came in through a movie player codec pack that I downloaded to play BluRay disks. Once I tracked down the issue and removing the codec pack I re-ran a MB Scan and successfully quarantined all instances of Spigot from my system. Subsequent immediate scans did not produce any other instances. Since that time I try to run MB every week or every other week. 

 

Somehow though, Spigot files keep showing back up in my system. It may go a week or so before they reappear, but on two different occasions now, MB has found and quarintined Spigot files.

 

Does anyone have an idea on how to track down where the re-infection is coming from?
