Usually you have to delete it from your Control Panel. There should be the name "Programs" you can uninstall it directly from there.

This is one of the nastiest scam things going. I had it once on this computer and do not remember how I got rid of it. I think it was by resetting my computer to a time prior to the thing popping up.

You could try Avast and Spybot and seeing if they can clean it up; there is likely a startup file that reinstalls the "cleaner" on reboot, but I think letting you loose on startup entries could cause even more trouble than just this (but if you want to fiddle with it, in spybot turn the mode to advanced and go into tools then go to system startup and deselect ones you don't want to load on boot).
