Angry deleting spyware

I recently received instructions from Symantec on deleting BlazeAD of which I did. Also there is this darn spyware ware www.vbs.searchwww.com/ which keeps popping up on my desktop. I delete the cookie all the time in the temporary file but it just keeps coming back. The instructions and numbers for deleting this in the regit do not match from Symantec. I don't know what to look for in the registry to delete this. I imagine it is hanging on to something I have downloaded but I do not know where to begin. Help that thing is driving me nuts.

yeah probably its in your pc's registry entry. try this softwares: bazooka spyware remover and ad-aware by lavasoft. it helps me a lot. you can have free downloads @ www.download.com

i used both softwares coz sometimes, even though the adaware remove it some of it are still there. so i use bazooka to remove it manually. the procedures for removing the spyware manually is @ this site: www.kephyr.com you might wanna check it out.. hope that this one helped tc
