Here are two alternatives to try -- both free:

Download RogueRemover from the link below.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/rogueremover.php

Unzip to a convenient location such as C:\RogueRemover.
Navigate to the folder you unzipped the files to and double click on the file named RogueRemover.exe.
Finally, select Scan and the program will walk you through the remaining steps.

Compatible with Windows 2000, NT, XP

IF either of those do not work, it may be because Spydawn arrived with some additional malware. In that case you may need to post a HijackThis log on the HijackThis board so someone can help you with additional cleaning.

I'm interested in what happens w/ you're system, as I just recently got help to have that removed. It was a pain. Reply to this and link me to you're HJT post. It took me a few posts to get it right, I figure they are helping you by now but "SUPERAntiSpyware free edition" is what helped me off the start. Bet you don't do that again... I know what you did lol. Here is the link to my HJThttp://www.dellcommunity.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=si_hijack&message.id=57002#M57002
