Jut when I thought I was clean - Hyperbar woes

Just when I thought I was clean - stupid jump tray.exe came back.
Well I cleaned out the exes agan - they had come back too.
Back in registry cleaner I cleaned again.
Then I went into the registry cleaner and searched for hyperbar and cleaned every single entry. Did the same for Startnow navigation helper.
Went to IE options and reset the defaults.
Now I think I am clean.

Igor (the programmer who wrote the hyperbar (that I don't remember installing - because I didn't) should be shot (slowly).
He has bypassed all the windows norms, it is effectively a virus as it is built to reporoduce itself constantly. It doesn't show in the Add remove programs box, though regcleaner finds it (but can't successfully remove it). He has hidden registry entries inside valid Microsoft registry keys and then forced changes to IE defaults such as search engines.
I will be monitoring closely over the next few days.
