HotsearchBar cannot be removed!

Hello,

I have Ad-Aware, Spyware Doctor, Spyware Blaster, NOD32 anti-virus, and keep my machine spotless. I recently installed Spybot and have been using it without problems. It is only today that it brings up an entry for "HotsearchBar" which cannot be removed. When I try to fix the problem Spybot tells me to restart because the problem is in memory. But when I restart it does not detect HotsearchBar at all!

HotsearchBar: Temporary file (File, fixing failed)
