Block-Checker keeps trying to install

Hi

I installed Block-checker and have uninstalled after finding it
useless.

I use Microsoft Antispyware (among others) to keep my computer from spy
and adware. The trouble is, that everytime I switch on or reboot the
computer Microsoft Antispyware pops up a message saying that
"Adware.BlockChecker" is trying to install. It trys to install itself
in part of the registry.

Microsoft Antispyware give me the choice to remove the entry into the
registry, but how do I stop it trrying to install itself? What and
where is the install program for this?

Can anyone help me?

How to remove the "Block Checker" malware correctly

Step 1: Killing the processes
a.. Download Sysinternals' "Process Explorer" here (link
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html and install
it. )
b.. Open Process Explorer and kill "csrss.exe" first.
To avoid killing the wrong csrss.exe process, look at the "User Name"
column which lists who has started the process.
If it is "SYSTEM" or "NT AUTHORITY" or the likes, then it means it is the
legit windows process started by Windows itself and shouldn't be killed. If
it is your username/computername then it means the csrss.exe process has
started up as a normal user program and thus is not legit and the fake one.
This is the one you need to kill...
c.. While still in Process Explorer, kill "block-checker.exe" if it is
still there.
Step 2: Removing the files
a.. Uninstall the block checker by going to "Add/Remove Programs" in the
control panel.
b.. Go into "C:\Program Files" and delete the folder labelled "Block
Checker" (where C:\ is the drive you installed Windows on) if it is still
there.
c.. Delete the "exclusion_AOL.ini", "exclusion_MSN.ini" and
"exclusion_Yahoo.ini" files located in windows' system folder
(C:\Windows\System).
d.. Clean out your recycle bin to totally remove the files from your HDD.
Step 3: Fixing the registry
a.. Open your registry editor (Start > Run > regedit.exe) and navigate to
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" and
delete the key named "block-checker".
(For a small tutorial on this, go to this site, because deleting the wrong
keys could corrupt Windows).
