Did you check add remove programs in the control panel to see if it showed
up there and try and remove it? You didn't mention that you looked there. I
would try the free Spybot search and destroy which I use in conjunction with
adaware and usually I can get rid of all these nasties between the two. Be
sure and do an update first after you install it to get the latest pattern
file.
The Spybot website to download it is at:

Subject: [windows2000] Cant remove Pest
Hi
I seem to be having an issue on my Windows XP Pro system (I know its a 2000
list but the resolution will be the same Im sure)where Im getting tasks open
automatically in the background. I have a few programs installed that stop
popups and these seem to work. I don?t get popups but if I open Task
Manager I see the following Applications running in the background. I only
usually get 1 task at a time. If I close the app, its replaced with
something different. These IE processes cannot be seen ? they run in the
background only
- Online Dialer ? Microsoft Internet Explorer
- Absolut Teen ? Microsoft Internet Explorer
- http://sexzones.net
etc
I have installed the following applications
- McAfees virus with latest defs
- Ad-Aware (with Adwatch monitoring)
- HiJackThis
- Popupstopper
- XP Firewall enabled
