Could someone instruct me on how to remove the "my search" trojan kind of deal?

... Please?

When I go to Add/remove programs, and it appears there, of course I go "Die you spyware bastard". When I click uninstall, a blank .dll screen appears, and nothing happens.

Yes, I have tried spysweeper, adaware, and lots more. Those get rid of the programs this one generates or something...
Yes, I have looked it up on google, and did not find anything on this specific problem.

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me kill it.

Please don't post junk like "use google noob" or "god ur stupid"

if it is a trojan than it is a virus. You need an antivirus or to do a system restore.

Oh yeah, I've got an antivirus too. Its McAfee, and it doesn't appear on the list, so I don't think its considered a virus. Oh yeah! I've also tried deleting its registry values.

It is not a virus..it is a naisty little spyware that just LOVES to -blam!- you over and annoy you to hell and back...you have to go into the regeresty (sp) and delete the basic things that keep installing it...but if I was you I wouldn't because you can mess up your computer by "accedently" removing the wrong thing...get a friend to remove it or pay some guy for it.

I believe it's one of those dirty byproducts of Messenger Plus!

Kind of like taking a crap after you eat.
