SASKUTIL.SYS is a valid SAS file, found in C:\Program Files\SUPERAntiSpyware folder. If you re-install SAS, it will be found there. It is not a "bad" file (although your copy may be)- I have it myself.
You most likely have a corrupted install of SAS (hey, it happens), and appear reluctant to follow my standard advice given yesterday on how to deal with this. Fair enough, maybe you tried it and it didn't work, or maybe there is some other problem. But when you don't follow the advice on the SAS forum from the author himself, it is not surprising he locked the thread.
Edit: Just to reassure myself that there is no intrinsic problem with the uninstall mechanism of SAS, I uninstalled it myself via Add/Remove Programs without any problem. The fact that you are having problems uninstalling re-inforces my belief you have a corrupted update. Please follow Bugbatter's advice in the other thread.
A web search stated that SASKUTIL is considered dangerous. After I fully understand all the aspects of this I will delete SAS and reinstall. SASKUTIL has already been deleated fron the C drive.

That file is a driver and is part of the program. It is legitimate and is not "dangerous".
