Just remove it as quick as you can as it's
a rogue program. See this link below for info.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/roguenet.php?id=421
Download from link below for free removal and
this is a tried and trusted program.
This is also in Superantispyware's definitions
and this link is also below if you would rather
use this…..consider also keeping it for future use..

This is also free for personal use.

Your computer is badly infected. Probably a smitfraud infection.
The removal tool called RogueRemover Free specialises in this sort of malware
http://www.malwarebytes.org/rogueremover.php
Use the free version. There is absolutely no reason to use the paid, "Pro" version when you want to remove only.
After running RogueRemover, to clean-up any remaining infection traces, scan for trojans,
and spyware etc and remove (free online scan, no downloaded program) with Ewido Online Scanner ( now known as AVG Anti-Spyware). This is NOT the same as AVG Anti-Virus. Press "Scan your computer now online and clean it for free!" on the left.

Good luck.

Try Revo uninstaller from download.com worth a shot before you reformat.

Scroll down to the bottom on left hand column
and you will see it there.
Follow the directions carefully for removal.
This is entirely free.
Hope this helps.
