You can remove it manually, but you'll have to know its name, and its registry value. Here's what to do.

1. Open registry editor. (Start---%26gt;Run---%26gt;type regeidt)

2. Click ''Edit'', then ''Find''.

3. Type in the value name of the spyware.

4. Right-click the value name, then click ''Delete''.

5. Exit registry editor, and open task manager. (Ctrl+Alt+Delete)

6. Open ''Processes'' tab.

7. Check for and end any process names related to the spyware.

8. Disable system restore. (Start---%26gt;Right-click ''My Computer''----%26gt;Properties---%26gt;System Restore tab---%26gt;Disable

9. Re-enable system restore.

10. Delete any copies of the registry and restore points.

11. Restart your computer.
