Caishow - "Hard to get rid of" Adware

Forum Members

 

I have aquired a dispicable piece of adware called "Caishow" and, unfortunately,  I can't get rid of it, every time I think it is gone it comes back.

 

I believe I got this adware by installing a download utility for my Internet Explorer 8, once I realised that I was infected I disabled the utility and ran several clean up apps, i.e. NIS quick scan, Spybot, Ad Aware, Malwarebytes's Anti-Malware and MS Malicious Software Removal Tool.

 

Out of all my security apps only Spybot identified the adware, and claimed to delete it, Malwarebytes's Anti-Malware found something (a .dll) and deleted that but "Caishow" keeps coming back.

 

I have searched the Internet for another method for getting rid of this adware but it would mean editing my windows registry, something I really do not want to try.

 

Therefore, does anyone know of a utility of software that can effectively auto delete this adware without wrecking my windows registry.
