Adware.iPend removal issue

[Gui]

Somehow I got this adware crap on my PC, now I cant get rid of it.
Adaware6 gives me the following info on it

Vendor:ClientMan
Category:Malware
Object Type:RegKey
Size:-
Location:Software\iPend\
Last Activity:5-3-2004
Risk LevelLow
Comment:
Description:Advertising parasite. Adds (overwrites current links) yellowish
links to web pages, opens popups, and redirects search engine results.


Adawaregives me a registry location of HKCU\Software\iPend
when I delete this key from the registry it comes right back.
It seems to be using a file @ C:\program files\internet
explorer\cachelut.dat to scan websites that I go to for random words.
Whenever those same words are found on other websites it creates a link from
that word to random websites that have something to do with that word.

I've gone to Symantec's site and they give you the key files to remove from
your PC but I cant seem to find them on the hdd.
Anyone know how to remove this ?

Thanks in Advance
Brian
