Try using a combination of HijackThis and About:Buster (from
MajorGeeks). You also need to be sure you've enabled the ability to
show all hidden files and extensions, disable System Restore if you are
running ME or XP, and probably manually delete bad files. It takes a
lot of skill, patience, and knowledge to remove some malware. You may
want to take your computer to a good local repair shop instead.
Otherwise, add Ad-aware (www.lavasoftusa.com) to your spyware removal
tools, do all scans in Safe Mode, and make note of what and where the
removal tools find. You may need to manually delete them.
