I remember coming across some instructions on manually removing xupiter and one of the things that was mentioned is to go into the downloaded program files directory (%systemroot%/downloaded program files) and then deleting anything that you can't identify in there (one common thing to see is the shockwave flash object).
Example:
go into c:\winnt\downloaded program files\ and then delete anything that looks like {0123145-0123-468138-0af123456}, you may get some warnings that it can't be uninstalled properly but you can ignore that.
If any of those objects are needed by websites you visit, you should be prompted to reinstall it the next time you visit the site.
I have found that this helps get rid of some of the annoying spyware when you don't have the time to install/run adaware or spybot.
