Lop/Myway/MyWebSearch - Messenger Plus malware

It seems from the posts that many people are experiencing
this stubborn malware program which AntiSpyware cannot
remove. When the pop up advises, "Your browser/search
bar is attempting to change to xxxxxxxx" and I
click "Block", another window pops open asking "Block
Internet Explorer URL Search Bar Change? Are you sure
you would like to prevent the IE URL Search Bar from
being changed to xxxxxxxx from the current setting of
qqqqqqqq? Block Intenet (note spelling error!) Explorer
URL change?" Then I have a choice of Yes or No. If I
click Yes (block change), the Antispyware box turns green
and tells me it has ALLOWED THE CHANGE! based on my
previous actions, and my search bar is hijacked once
again! If I click No, the change is not made but the
Antispyware warning box remains open and I have to drag
it to the bottom of my screen and ignore it for the rest
of the day. This seems like an effective attempt by this
Lop malware program to bypass Microsoft's Antispyware
tactics. Anybody else experiencing the same problem?
And ANYBODY KNOW OF AN ANTIVIRUS/ANTISPYWARE PROGRAM THAT
CAN ACTUALLY GET RID OF THIS ANNOYING, CREEPY, EXTREMELY
SMART MALWARE? From all my research I believe it
installs with Messenger Plus and is associated with
Lop.com; the searchbar is called "mywebsearchTM" and the
uninstall option (from their site) is a farce. I have
run AdAware, Kaspersky Labs, SpyDoctor and Norton and I
still have this slimy browser hijacker.
