Want to Remove an unwanted webdialer

I am having a problem to get rid of an exe file from my system. It is an adult site dialer exe. Some how it loads to my system when I was surfing the net(probably). Everytime I try to uninstall from Control Panel Add/Remove, from other areas like C:\windows, windows registry, it pops up after I re-boot. The exe loaded to a folder called Webdialer. I can not figure out what will be the other options I can think about. I wonder whether it will affect other network pcs. Need Help.

I recommend downloading and running SpyBot Search and Destroy. It's an excellent 
program, and be sure to check for updates often. It does remove some dialers, but 
post back if it doesn't get rid of this one.

It looks for spyware, but also targets dialers, keyloggers and much more, and it's 
freeware. 

After installing, go to the Online tab, and search for and install all updates. 

Next, go to the Settings tab > File Sets, and uncheck 'System Internals' and 'Tracks.' 
These aren't needed for our present purpose, and you can always experiment with them 
later on. 

After signing off, run the scan, then click 'Check All', and have SpyBot remove all 
it finds.

I should mention that those webdialers can rack up very large phone bills for you! Hopefully, SpyBot will remove it, and be sure to reboot after running it.
