Try:
Spyware Programs links:-
www.lavasoftusa.com Ad-Aware - ideal for the new user
www.security.kolla.de Spybot - more experience required.

Hi Ben,

Hard to kill it when it's active. Restart in Safe mode, scan there.

How to start in Safe mode:

Other programs that can help:

Adaware www.lavasoft.de
Spybot www.safer-networking.org

This one can help you avoid these programs from being installed in the first
place:
Spyware Blaster: www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
