Not a bad site at all. The good thing about TrojanHunter is that it has an active guard. NSIS can also be removed by SpyBot, but make sure to disable "System Restore" when dealing with NSIS and its likes. It would help in cutting down on popups and advertisement if you install Ad Muncher , which also has an active protection for whenever you're online. Be sure to update your anti-virus and other programs that help you get rid of annoying spyware, malware, and worms. Just remember to disable "System Restore" in order for those pests not to reload themselves. Thanks, ekawalaski@yahoo.com

I'm not sure about your method, but here is how I got rid of it:
There is a dll-module in the System32 folder that Explorer.exe, IExplorer.exe and a few other processes are forced to load. The tricky part seems to be that it has a different name on different systems. For me it was netstrap42.dll.
I used a small tool called "Process Radar" to list up the dlls loaded by explorer.exe. There was a module that looked odd, saying "Extension" in the description. Also the dll file had a number in its name.
The file was locked and couldn't be deleted in normal as well as in safe mode and all removal tools would crash trying to remove it as well. Eventually I used a tool called "Unlocker" to override the file lock and delete the file although it was in use. It worked... well but as you would think all my windows shell instantly crashed (but restarted).
After that I could delete all the NSIS stuff from the filesystem and the registry manually and it never came back.
