    It can be "removed" by renaming all instances of rundll32.exe at once,
    so System File Protection won't replace it again. [snip]
    ----------------------------

    Something else to add to your bag of tricks is that WFP won't tamper
    with ACLs. So instead of trying to remove or rename executables, re-ACL
    them to read, no execute. This can be done remotely without logging in,
    assuming you have admin privileges.

    This won't help in all cases, but can sometimes be useful. Likewise, if
    something insists on putting registry keys back again, take away your
    own permission to write to the parent key temporarily (leaving yourself
    delete permission), then nuke it. It might even kill the thing by
    causing it to take unexpected code paths...

    IMHO, a clean reformat and reinstall is always the best way to get rid
    of a Trojan, but these techniques might help in some situations.
