How do i remove MS AntiSpyware 2009

Hey everyone,

Recently while surfing on the internet, a random window popped up called MS AntiSpyware. It got installed automatically on my system and now i think it seems to be a virus. I tried to remove it but i couldn't succeed. Now the problem is that whenever i try do something on my pc, MS AntiSpyware windows pop-up and don't allow me to work further. It's really ridiculous.:wub: Can any oen tell me how do remove this MS AntiSpyware from my system. Any kind of help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

First of all it's important to turn OFF your System Restore, so any infection that you remove is not restored. Secondly, I can recommend scanning with:

• McAfee Stinger - a standalone trojan virus scan utility.
  
• SpyBot S&D - For spyware/adware
  
• Lavasoft Adware - For spyware/adware

It's important you scan with updated software.

MBAM will now delete all of the files and registry keys and add them to the programs quarantine. When removing the files, MBAM may require a reboot in order to remove some of them. If it displays a message stating that it needs to reboot, please allow it to do so. Once your computer has rebooted, and you are logged in, please continue with the rest of the steps.
