Try Start>Run>msconfig>Startup. If you can find it listed there you can
disable it from starting and/or simply delete the executable (might want to
rename it first). Better free Startup Cop type programs are available e.g.
Startup Control Panel www.mlin.net .
Then I'd work on how this thing got installed in the first place. Run Ad-aware
( http://www.webattack.com/get/adaware.shtml ), update her virus
definitions and check the settings, and change some of the security
settings in Internet Options to prompt before allowing programs to install
themselves.
