Just curious, what site were you attempting to update the flash player from when you got the "antispy 2009" infection?
Was it the Adobe site (doubtful) or another site with some kind of banner saying words to the effect "your flash player needs updating to play this content...."

From what I read in your thread about this you used Superantispyware to zap it. I'd certainly recommend another scan with SAS, and also MBAM (link from me in the other thread).

Basically this malware can be a bit of a pain to remove completely, so it's worth throwing pretty much everything at it, just to be sure. I'd also not consider it over the top to run a couple of rootkit scans. Good site for getting the applications here. Probably one of the easier to use is Trend Micro's Rootkit buster. GMER is very good (actually quite a few referenced on that site are very good) but mostly they need a bit of expert knowledge to interpret safely. Rule number 1 with anti-rootkit scanners is "if you aren't sure, investigate it; don't delete it."
Because of the nature of the scan (in the alternate data stream) valid items are likely to be presented to the un-knowing as possible rootkits.
