Go to www.grisoft.com and download AVG Anti Virus Free edition, run that and it should hopefully remove it

Then go to here, and do a search for SpyBot. Find, download, and install the SpyBot Search'N'Destroy program, and do a full-scan with that...

If it keeps re-appearing, there must be a Key in the Registry that keeps loading it.
If you can find what the name of it is, you can delete the key.
But has said removal software is very Good.

Editing the registry unless you know what you are doing is very risky, use Spybot Search and destroy, microsoft antispyware, or Ad Aware SE to remove any traces of spyware
