It sits in the corner of the toolbar and toggles between "X" and "?" incessantly and occasionally opens to full screen offering virus protection etc., but I already have spyware, firewall, virus protection etc.

Oh dear. Had the same thing myself, my son and his girlfriend. Doesn't seem to do any harm, just a pain in the bum. You can try what you like to remove it and you will fail. You can delete every file that contains mention of it anywhere on your computer in any way, shape or form you like, and it will still be there.
But, give it time,. It goes of its own accord after so long. Just vanishes.

Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

Bad luck, James Bond.
SMERSH got you!
You need to format the disc and reinstall the OS.
This is one motha of a worm and the King of Smitfrauds.
No other way out. Regedit is still iffy on this one, so nother choice.
Bad luck.
