November 15, 200718 yr In my experience, Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool is ill equipped to remove real world spyware.Malicious Software Removal Tool is kinda like bringing a knife to a gun fight.I recommend using Hijackthis!, Icesword, Process Explorer, Rootkit revealer, RKunhooker, CCleaner, Smit*Fix, etc. They arent nearly as pretty (in fact some are downright ugly) but they can do the job faster and better than any of the MS tools.
