Try another Anti-Spyware program - I highly recommend downloading a trial of ewido

There is also Microsoft Defender, SpyBot Search and Destroy, and a bunch of others. You might want to try rebooting in safe mode(Press F8 a bunch while booting up your computer) then running adaware to remove whatever it finds.

I second that statement. ewido is a very nice peice of software. I need to buy that mother. It's never not been able to take care of a threat I've come across.

Restart in safemode, run the scan again.

You can also go to start>run "msconfig" and edit your startup entries to stop a lot of problems. The most probable reason that it can't remove it is because it is still running and is unable to kill it.

Also, try the adware/spyware removers that I listed. Spybot has proven itself to be the most important tool I could ever have in fighting spyware/adware.
