Is there a quick simple way to remove this? Adaware doesn't pick it up and when Spybot does, it says that it's being used in memory so that I need to complete a scan next time i reboot. I do this but Spybot crashes so I can't complete the removal! Thank you in advance :)

    Try running spybot in safe mode. To get into safe mode reboot and while the start up screen is on repeatedly press f8 until it prompts you to log on in safe mode.

    I also suggest getting CWShredder and running it when you reboot back into normal mode.

    When you do get clean I would suggest getting spyware blaster or spyware shooter.

    Yeah shadow is right. The program is probably starting up when you computer boots. Just look for something suspicious in msconfig or hijackthis logs.

    Anyways just do like he says and boot into safe mode. When you do that only the bare essentials are loaded, aka no third party apps aka no spyware.

    Make sure you update Spybot first before you run it to get the most effectiveness out of it. Good luck :)

    Please post a hijackthis log so we can really see what's going on.
