Bargain Buddy dug in like a tick

AdAware detects it. I delete it with AdAware, and it is gone. I run AdAware again and it is still gone. I close and reopen IE. I run AdAware again and Bargain Buddy is back. I googled Bargain Buddy removal but found no clear or easy asnwers. Is this an AdAware bug or are the other programs all missing it?

There is no Bargain Buddy in my tray. There in nothing in "add remove programs" about bargain buddy. Suggestions are appreciated...

Gypsyman,

In case you didn't find it already, Adaware's latest update has a known issue where it gives a false-positive detection of Bargain Buddy. Don't go deleting anything yet. Try updating Adaware again, I thought an update was already out to fix this, but I could be wrong. More info can be found at the link below and Lavasoft's forums.
