Good luck if AdAware can remove that one. Worth a try, though.
I've read of users successfully removing it with Superantispyware

which is superior.
Generally with this type of infection (BHO loaded by a trojan) it's best to full scan and quarantine with at least two different applications and in safe mode, which will prevent all or part of it from loading, thus greatly increasing the chance of successful cleaning.
Quarantine, rather than deleting. That way if you nuke a system file, you can get it back.
When all is well turn off system restore, then turn it back on again.
It's possible you might need heavier duty tools to completely get rid of it. If the above steps fail, you'd best do a HijackThis scan, and post the results at one of the forums that deal with these. (see the sticky).
