I believe that you're going to have to edit the registry as described HERE (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/adware.cdt.html). However you might want to try turning off system restore, then reboot into safe mode. Then run both updated spybot and ad-aware. This might not work, but it's a whole lot easier than editing your registry.
