Run AntiSpyware in Safe Mode using full system scan at least two times. On
the Scan Page choose Scan Options > Full System Scan. Also ensure that
system restore is turned off before going into Safe Mode. In addition to
MSAS you should continue to run additional antispyware solutions such as the
following:
Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://forum.aumha.org/downloads/cwshredder.zip
Spy Sweeper - www.webroot.com
