OK!!! 101 did the same thing to my system! antivirus kept deleting it but not til after my system started getting messed up.THis crap was memory resident,meaning no matter how many times you delete it,would come back every time you restart
I even refomatted my drive,and it still came back.I again reformatted,then unplugged the system,pulled the BIOS battery to drain the memory after a few minutes,re-installed the battery,powered up re-installed my OS,everything works great now.

You may need to switch off System Restore as back up files may be hiding in there, and it will just restore itself. Go to Start - programs - accessories - system tools - system restore.
Run your anti virus and anti spyware in Safe Mode. To get into Safe Mode repeatedly press the F8 key after the bios screen loads but before Windows loads. You'll know if you made it because the screen will be at 800 x 600 and your pc will be slow.
You need all these anti spyware programs;
http://www.ewido.net - AVG(Ewido) anti trojan.
http://www.safer-networking.org - Spybot Search and Destroy anti spyware. Use the Teatimer settings to protect Internet Explorer, and the Immuniser to stop malware getting on your pc.
Spywareblaster works with Internet Explorer and Firefox. It won't uninstall spyware that is already on your pc, but it will prevent hijacks and other malicious changes to your browser.

http://www.lavasoft.com - Ad-Aware SE Personal anti adware

try running the anti-spyware in safe mode. press f8 continuously when you switch on the pc/laptop and you should come to a screen with options, choose the safe mode option and run the anti-spyware or anti-virus and see if it can shift it then. if that does not work then take it to local pc repair shop, they might know how to take it out and they will be much cheaper than PC world or a larger pc store.

Try downloading the free Spyware Terminator, it is pretty ruthless and found stuff that my other anti programs, Ad-Aware, Spybot Search and Destroy had been overlooking for years. Remember to check for the latest updates before you run it. If it fixes your problem I would recommend another free program SpywareBlaster, it is a very efficient shield to help prevent future infections.

get somebody who knows how to try to get into your pc's system registry to manually remove traces of the spyware. it's a bit risky so dont forget to do backups.
thats your only option now, i think.

Go to http://www.mbusbyuk.info/links.html and scroll down to free online scanners. Pick up the link for Ewido and do a full system scan. That should do it.
Good Luck!
