Don't have the time to do too much looking, but here is a link you might want to try and poke around on.

adaware, ccleaner, spy sweeper, spybot, avast, and i think that's it.

spysweeper catches it everytime it tries to load into my registry, so i DO stop it, but pretty much everytime i boot up my computer it tries to do that, and it's annoying.. :o)

Try Microsoft's Antispyware (here). Easy to use, doesn't interfere with other programs, and it finds stuff.

Easy to delete as well if you decide not to keep it.

MS didn't find this one. i'll keep it on, because every layer of protection helps, but this cfmon.exe thing is making me nuts...
