Sounds like part of the BetterInternet.VX2 malware - it could take awhile.
If you do abort, reboot into safe mode and try scanning again.

If you are under attack and MSAS does not seem to help:
*Submit suspected spyware report in the tools menu of MSAS*
1. Download:
lspfix.exe www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
ccleaner.exe www.ccleaner.com
killbox.exe www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/killbox.php
2. Reboot into safe mode - http://tinyurl.com/pfca
3. Clean out all temp file locations - ccleaner.exe
(be sure to configure to delete all temp files
and not just those 48 hours old or older)
4. Run MSAS at least twice in full/deep mode
5. Run a robust, updated antivirus software scan
6. Reboot into normal mode,see if problem has been corrected
7. Install and use killbox to delete stubborn files

Application Notes:
Registering a VB6 dll seems to fix missing agents:
1) Open up a command prompt (start -> run -> cmd)
2) Type in the following "regsvr32 msvbvm60.dll" (without the quotes).
3) Close and re-open Windows AntiSpyware

Hi
- Download/Install CCleaner, www.ccleaner.com, removes all
temporarily junk
- Download/Install Lavasofts Adaware, also removes tracking
cookies.
http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022-10319876.html?tag=list
All scans then in *safe mode*, press F8 during reboot.
- Start CCleaner and remove all temporarily junk.
- Choose fullscan with all options checked within MSAS and scan.
- Also choose fullscan within Adaware
