I don't have specific experience with xupiter, but I've been impressed with Spybot Search and Destroy: http://security.kolla.de/
I had removed "Common Name Toolbar" with Adaware, which wound up killing TCP/IP because the CNToolbar either modifies them or replaces the winsock files - Adaware didn't repair them. I installed and ran the Spybot S&D - it repaired everything. Once I regained Internet access on that system, I updated Spybot S&D and ran it again - it found and killed more spyware. It also has a few proactive options that are also very effective, such as adding thousands of known malware urls to the hosts file, pointing each at the loopback address. Just checked... Xupiter is on Spybot S&D's kill list.
