Hi Jim,

First, I would try Super Anti Spyware (free edition), and / or Malwarebytes, both in Safe Mode, and see if they can rectify things.  Come back to us and let us know how you get on.  :)

Try disconnecting from the internet before you you delete it from the registry
It sounds like it reinstalling as you delete it

On another computer download malware bytes to a cd and then install it while disconnected from the internet
