Not all adware/spyware removers are created equal, and some do miss
things that another will catch. That's why most knowledgeable people
use two or three different products.

To find and/or deal with issues caused by any sort of "adware"
and/or "spyware," such as Gator, Comet Cursors, Xupiter, Bonzai Buddy,
or KaZaA, and their remnants, that you've deliberately (but without
understanding the consequences) installed, two products that are quite
effective (at finding and removing this type of scumware) are Ad-Aware
from www.lavasoft.de and SpyBot Search & Destroy from
www.safer-networking.org/. Both have free versions. It's even possible
to use SpyBot Search & Destroy to "immunize" your system against most
future intrusions.

Additionally, manual removal instructions for the most common
varieties of scumware are available here:

1.. Read the link below and then see the registry( be careful when editing
the Registry, you can render your system useless if you wrongly edited the
Registry, so back Up first):
http://www.nuker.com/container/details/searchbar_toolbar.php
For Malwares download both these software:
http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php
<you said you have Adaware, did you update its definitions?, uninstall and
reinstall the new release you may have older version>:
http://www.safer-networking.org ; for Spybot S&D
Open the Run Command and type in:
regedit.exe click [OK]
On the Registry Editor locate this Key:
[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main =
Look in the Right Pane/Window for the search Bar and Search Page if it for
this tool bar delete it.

[-]HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Toolbar =
look for the extension of the toolbar in the Right Pane/Window.

[-] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Look in the Right Pane/Window for the search Bar and Search page if it for
this tool bar delete it

[-] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\Toolbar =
The same here.

2- Download the Hijackthis and send the report to one of many
forums for analysis and troubleshooting:
When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. Post
your log to http://aumha.net/viewforum.php?f=30,
http://castlecops.com/forum67.html,
http://forums.subratam.org/index.php?showforum=7, or other appropriate
forums for expert analysis, not here.
Please perform one step (1,2) at a time and see if that will help your
issue.
Please tell us about the Name of that worm next time in your message.
HTH.
Please let us know.
