There is a program called "hijack this" which will give scan and list all possible hijacked entries, look for the one that is in the list which is giving you grief and delete it.
Good Luck

note this as when you use hijack this you will have to select numerous items to be removed as just deleting subsections of spyware won`t get rid of the little blighters
