I keep getting the above mention spyware showing up on my
machine whenever I lauch the control panel. AntiSpyware
succesfully removes the spyware. However, every time I
run Control Panel an error occurs the file explorer shell
gets reloaded and the spyware ends up reinstalled on my
machine.

Does anyone have any ideas?
 
Steps to take if you have spyware that is not removed by
Microsoft Windows
AntiSpyware (beta)
1) Open up AntiSpyware
2) Click Tools at the top
3) Click "Submit a Suspected Spyware Report"
4) Fill out the form with as much detail so we can analyze
quickly

By doing these steps before trying something new, you make
the product better.

Thanks again for testing the beta!!!!

Generally, in a case where the item is identified, but not
properly removed, the next steps are:

1) update both Microsoft Antispyware and your antivirus
application.
2) restart in safe mode by pressing the F8 function key
before the first Windows screen appears at startup.
3) do full deep scans with Microsoft Antispyware. Repeat
scanning until a complete scan comes through clean. Ditto
with the antivirus.

This isn't guaranteed, but it works for a great many items
that at first appear not to be cleaned in normal mode.


Good luck

And most importantly, when your problem is resolved, let
everyone know!!! Many people put a lot of time and effort
into helping. Let them know what suggestions worked.
 
I resolved the problem. There was a redit.cpl file that
was in the system32 directory even after AntiSpyware
removed everything else. When the Control Panel was
selected the redit.cpl file was invoked and that file
reinstalled KavSvc and Spyware.61.
 
Great detective work.

If you can submit tools, suspected spyware reports from your machine,
relaying that information along with "spyware.61" may help improve
performance in later versions
