Winantispyware was downloaded onto my computer without permission while looking at pics from http://pussyupload.com. Does anyone know how I can safely remove it?

Thank you for the notice of the malware hosted/distributed by the site.

Ouch, looks like removing it can be a bit of a tedious manual process....

Here are two links that each describe about the same manual process, however it appears there is a link to a free removal tool in the 2nd link.

For those who tried to help, thanks. Still unable to remove entirely, looks like I'll be spending the weekend dumping the hard drive and reloading everything.

P.S. If any of you know someone who works for WinAntiSpyware......... Be sure to kick them in the crouch for me.
