Try using Ad-Aware from Lavasoft http://www.lavasoft.nu/software/adaware/, the free version is excellent, I use it all the time to clean up helpdesk PC's where users have downloaded rubbish from the internet.

I have cleaned up the registry and and cleaned up the directory but it shows up again. It even piggybacks on another process. So, the user can't even see PID's in the task manager.
