The demo version of Spyware Doctor found (but won't
remove) SpyKiller 2005, and gives the following
information:

I tried to use the reporting tool, and got the following
message:
============

MICROSOFT SUSPECTED SPYWARE REPORTING TOOL

An error occurred submitting the scan results. Please
check you Internet proxy settings and try again.

[ User's note, it really does say, "check you Internet
proxy settings." ]

Hello Bower

Steps to take if you have spyware that is not removed by
Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware (beta)
1) Open up AntiSpyware
2) Click Tools at the top
3) Click "Submit a Suspected Spyware Report"
4) Fill out the form with as much detail so we can analyze
quickly

By doing these steps before trying something new, you make
the product better.

Thanks again for testing the betª!!!!

Generally, in a case where the item is identified, but not
properly removed, the next steps are:

1) Update both Microsoft Antispyware and your antivirus
application.
2) Restart in safe mode by pressing the F8 function key
before the first Windows screen appears at startup.
3) Do full deep scans with Microsoft Antispyware. Repeat
scanning until a complete scan comes through clean. Ditto
with the antivirus.

This isn't guaranteed, but it works for a great many items
that at first appear not to be cleaned in normal mºde.

Sometimes this steps help, see the post below.

Spykiller 2005 is a "rogue" antispyware application. See:

http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm

Have you checked add or remove programs to see if it is removable there?
