If the first two don't help then us Hijack This and then post the results of what it finds here so we can analyze it for you.

Run Hijackthis and give us the log file ..

It would easy for us to check the registry entries and would tell you which one to delete from registry....

This would delete or uninstall or remove spidersearch

Have a good pop-up blocker so that spywares like this may not come again

Manual removal: They have an uninstaller on their web site that could work.

Open the 'Downloaded Program Files' folder in the Windows folder. Right-click the 'I-Lookup.com Toolbar' object (Ineb variant), or the 'GlobalWebSearch.com' object (Chgrgs variant). Click 'Remove'.

I had an awful time getting rid of this pesky search toolbar. I tried all the above, and it just kept returning whenever I relaunched IE. I finally got rid of it after manually deleting the winalot32.dll file from the windows/system32 folder. Hope this works for everyone else.
