Getting Rid of lefeats Adware

My desktop computer, which runs on Windows 98, has become infected with
lefeats.adware. Running Norton shows various files that are associated with
it, Spyware Doctor finds infections and claims it has removed them, and
Noadware does likewise.

Still, my homepage in IE keeps getting changed to about.htm, and at least
one file associated with this adware keeps showing up on my PC. I have
tried installing CWShredder, but there is a missing dll file and so I
haven't been able to install it. I have tried to delete the files from the
DOS prompt, but I keep getting messages that the file(s) don't exist. I
have tried to delete them from within Windows Explorer, and either the files
don't show despite being set to show all files, or, if the file(s) show, and
I try to delete them, either my system hangs or I get a message telling me
that the program associated with it is in use.

Does anyone have any idea of how I can get rid of this adware program and
its files?

Thanks, donnie. I should have mentioned that I have already checked that
out. The applet that they make available doesn't completely do the job, and
registry keys they say to delete aren't where Symantec says they should be,
so I've had little luck in getting them off my hard drive.

Having stopped using it for a while because it was not getting
results, I revisited Adaware and found its been updated and goes
pretty well and reaches the parts that Spybot misses.
