Malwarebytes did a good job of removing this on a few systems here at work.

Phil,
If you are referring to usage of MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (MBAM), there is NO procedure that calls for turning off the PC !
Nor for turning off services.

In the cases where malware re-appears, the need is for the victim to get guided help, and to run a series of tools, not just one or even two.
