Buddy.exe Spyware Removal

Hey,
Got a problem with a VERY enoying spyware program . It goes by the name buddy.exe and keeps on trying to get webacces. My firewall wont let it, but i have to deny access everytime it tries. The file is located in the windows directory as "anxgjkpzpjp.exe" and if i just stop the process and then delete the file it takes about 2 min and then it all starts again. I've tried using Ad-Aware SE and Hijackthis, neither of em find the file at all .

Has anyone had this problem? How did you get rid of it? Any soloution/idea is great!!

Thnx!!

Found it on a google search for removing buddy.exe however, it's is not specifically listed on this site.

hey phibz. i think the word your looking for is annoying spyware i just happened to notice that...anyways...on to the real reason i'm posting. Did it actually get rid of the program and files or are they still there, you just don't have to click the block button anymore. If they are still there, they are slowing down your computer and you should probably work on getting rid of it. If it's still there you can check out a list of great anti-crapware programs on my site
