Interesting! We can never be too careful. Thanks for the instructions. I'm sure it can help others who no doubt are infected. (Hopefully not me, but I'm going to double check!)

I run Ad-Aware daily after an Internet session, and also CWShredder and HijackTHIS!. I update all my antivirus/anti-spyware weekly, and keep my system updated as well. I also, just before shutdown, delete ALL cookies and history files, followed by the emptying of the recycle bin.

It takes a little time, but peace of mind is worth it. These bugs pretty much compromise your whole system...even sending personall information back to their masters in some variants.
