First of all - send a Suspected Spyware Report through the Tools menu of
MSAS to the SpyNet.

Then turn off the System Restore: Start-> right click on My computer ->
Properties -> System restore -> select the box ' Turn off system restore '
and press Apply, then exit.
(Remember to turn it on - i.e. deselect that box - again after cleaning the
system!!)

Next start the computer in the Safe mode (F8 during boot-up), run Windows
Explorer, go to your profile temporary folders (usually C:\Documents and
Settings\username\local settings\temp and c:\Documents and
Settings\username\local settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5) and
delete all the files in those directories and subdirectories. Then do a
full system scan with MS AntiSpyware (check the proper option under Scan
settings). Scan the computer with the antivirus software that you use. And
also with some other "cleaning" software such as:

Spybot Search&Destroy http://www.majorgeeks.com/download2471.html
HijackThis http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html
CWShredder http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3019.html
Ad-Aware SE Personal http://www.lavasoft.com/software/adaware/
McAfee Stinger http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/

If you run HijackThis you can check the log it prepares - just copy and
paste it to the http://www.hijackthis.de web page and click analyze button.
