Hugh and Clint,
Even after editing the registry in safe mode and removing the
file from
many locations it was still coming up.
But on one restart we were able to install and run Malwarebytes
and
clean it out completely. It had shut down and/or disabled 13
services as
well.
6 rootkits and 56 separate infections outside of the registry!
I can't wait to see what 2009 brings ;)
Happy new year guys!
