I need to remove items from favorites. I tried Adware and it can't remove it. McAfee does not recognize it. I tried manualy deleting it. It comes off then, I restart the computer it is back again. It comes up data miner when running Adware. Please advise

I use spybot and ad-aware together, since they catch stuff the other one misses-

For really stubborn mal-ware I use HiJackThis-

If you are using mcafee that came with your OS, and aren't paying for regular updates, it can't deal with newer stuff. Use AVG, it's better, free to use, and free to update (automatic, too)-

I tried Spybot and Updated my Mcafee. It won't recognize it. I believe to be stuck somewhere in the startup of the computer. I have tried to manually delete it but it keeps coming back. Any other suggestions? Adware did not find it either. I need to get this crap off.
Thanks
