Adware

I have picked up a piece of adware which appears to be impossible to remove. I have tried disabling it, uninstalling it via control panel, and deleting it manually, but it always reappears. My conclusion is that I have a piece of software that keeps reinstalling it. However I have no idea what software is doing this. Searches on Google simply tell me how to uninstall the software that pops the ad, and gives no clue as to what keeps re-installing it.

The software appears on IE/Crome as an add on which has variably been called "Better Surf", "Movie Viewer", and "Media View". Does anyone know what software keeps re-installing this little bastard?

Thanks.
