Before running any removal tools, have you first disabled System Restore? Malware loves to hide in SR. When it's running, the files cannot be accessed for cleaning. Hence, the malware is brought back. Disabling SR dumps its files--and the malware along with them. :)

You might want to also check your win.in and sys.ini files for a reference to the program.
