I have installed MS Antispyware and whilst browsing the internet a message keeps appearing saying that the above Adware it trying to instal itself.

I ask MS Antispyware to clean it from my computer and I guess it does but it always takes down my IE so I have to restart it. This is happening as frequently as every 10 minutes.

Is there anything I can do about this ?

Regards

Change your surfing habits.
I'd guess that you keep returning to a site/sites that are hosting said app.

Thats what I thought but it happens on sites I have never been on before ?

The case may be that the MS beta is not pulling everything that needs to be cleaned.
Are you running an OS that features System Restore (i.e. XP or ME?)
If so, you could roll back to a date prior to this happening.
Other than that, you need to start looking for the offending files (likely in your Windows directory or your System32 directory).

You might find some intial help here:

Also, I'd give the machine a pass with both SpyBot and WebRoot SpySweeper (with System Restore disabled, of course):
