How To Get Rid Of Smart Engine

McAfee allowed a program called "Smart Engine" to attack my PC. We have removed the McAfee software from our PC completely & have attempted several times to remove "Smart Engine". Unfortunately I am unable to find the program when I search my hard drive. What do I do & how do I get rid of it?

Just got through removing this from my moms computer. Will take you a while ~ 2hours - make sure you turn off the proxy in IE Connections to help you get around.
