go to add/remove and uninstall from there. go to C:\program files and uninstall it's folder to.
 
gtgren,

If uninstalling it through Add/Remove Programs doesn't stop it from coming back, you may need to turn off System Restore. I've seen this happen with similar spyware infections.

Thanks for you all help, I had gone to add/remove programs already, also I look for it under c:/program files and I did not see where it had a folder there. I had done these things already and I still kept seeing it come back.
 
Ensure that system restore is off.

Run their complete scan.

Then run Microsoft's anti-spyware product.

Lastly, run and post a HiJackThis! log file. It should point out any remaining infections.
