You should try downloading and using Microsoft AntiSpyware. It's Freeware and will detect any spyware/adware on your pc. Go to www.microsoft.com and search for it.

May sound simple, but have you tried re-installing your ATI drivers? If it only screws up when the ATI thing doesn't load, then i'd assume that it has something to do with that.

Other than that though, i'm not sure what you could do, sorry.
