Default Spyware Help: ICanNews

Anybody familiar with this spyware? I can't seem to get rid of this spyware and it's driving me nuts! Ad-Aware cannot detect this spyware and Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta1 is showing that I have the ICanNews spyware in my compture.

Description from Microsoft AntiSpyware:
ICanNews is an adware program that logs keywords typed in web searchs and creates shortcuts and displays advertisement.
