Help with matewatcher spyware

[hoplyn]

Hi
This is the first time I have posted and I hope someone can help me.
I run Lavasoft everyday but it does not recognize the matewatcher spyware.
I ran yahoo anti spy it recognizes the spyware but can't remove it. Does anyone know how to get rid of it. I attached my HJ log. Thankyou for any help.

Hi again
Thank you for your help. I ran the yahoo anti spyware again but still saying that the spyware mate watcher is still showing up. I did do all the steps to rid the spyware. My laptop is running a bit smoother.
Thanx again
