Spyware Strike Has Struck

by eamoniveragh Jan 7, 2006 8:57AM PST

My husband's computer screen now has a popup from Spyware Strike that he cannot turn off. He says he clicked on something, and the program was installed. I have tried the following to get rid of it:
Windows Add/Remove...can't remove the program
Spy Sweeper...identifies it on booting up. Selecting Spyware Strike to be removed doesn't remove it.
Ad-aware SE cannot remove it.
Manually delete it from Program Files...doesn't delete

Help...please!
