Hi Roger,
Because McAfee cannot remove it, that indicates that it is possibly just a snapshot of the Adware still in your System Restore Points. Unless you do a system restore, it cannot reinfect your computer, so the easiest thing is to purge your restore points and then set a new one.

Purging System Restore

To remove all SR Points thus removing any contaminated ones:
Turn OFF System Restore then turn it back ON and then set a new restore point.

In XP:
Follow these instructions (method 2)
Then set a new restore point by following these instructions.


In Vista:
Follow these instructions.
Then set a new restore point by following these instructions


In Windows 7
Follow these instructions
Then set a new restore point by following these instructions


Once you have done that, run another scan with McAfee and it should prove clean.

I find it about the best on the market at present :?
