1) Download the following three items...

         Trend Sysclean Package
         http://www.trendmicro.com/download/dcs.asp

         Latest Trend Pattern File.
         http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp

         Adaware SE (free personal version v1.05)
         http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

Create a directory.
On drive "C:\"
(e.g., "c:\New Folder")
or the desktop
(e.g., "C:\Documents and Settings\lipman\Desktop\New Folder")

Download Sysclean.com and place it in that directory.
Download the Trend Pattern File by obtaining the ZIP file.
For example; lpt406.zip

Extract the contents of the ZIP file and place the contents in the same directory as
sysclean.com.

2) Update Adaware with the latest definitions.
3) Disable System Restore
        http://vil.nai.com/vil/SystemHelpDocs/DisableSysRestore.htm
4) Reboot your PC into Safe Mode and shutdown as many applications as possible
5) Using both the Trend Sysclean utility and Adaware, perform a Full Scan of your
        platform and clean/delete any infectors/parasites found.
        (a few cycles may be needed)
6) Restart your PC and perform a "final" Full Scan of your platform using both the
        Trend Sysclean utility and Adaware
7) Re-enable System Restore and re-apply any System Restore preferences,
        (e.g. HD space to use suggested 400 ~ 600MB),
8) Reboot your PC.
9) Create a new Restore point

| Hi, I am having a terrible spyware problem.  Things like dyfuca and IST and
| 1800 searchassistant are constantly on my computer.  I am running ad-aware,
| and it says it takes it off, but when i go into the program files, boom there
| this stuff is.  Also, upon leaving the system "clean" and logging off to
| another or even the same profile, I have run ad-aware again and it is back.
| Is there a file or files that are deeply imbedded allowing this stuff to come
| back on?? and if so, how do I get rid of it?
