In

it says:

Removal Procedure:
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del once to bring up the End Task dialogue. Highlight "WINSERVS" and select End Task. (It may take a few moments for a "not responding" warning to appear. Press End Task again.)

I do not have WINSERVS running.

Now remove WINSERVS.EXE from your StartUp folder. This can be done by going to Start > Settings > Taskbar, and clicking on the Start Menu tab. Select "Remove". Find the StartUp folder on the list that appears, select it if necessary, and delete the WINSERVS entry that appears there.

I do not have WINSERVS in StartUp folder.

So this one I tried.
I tried Norton but it was unable to fight it also.
Looks like I'm out of luck here.

To THoey:
What are you talking about?
The link you provided does not have a slightest tip on what I'm asking for. Can you be more specific in your response?

Thank you very much. All responses are highly appreciated.

Spybot will kill Purityscan, Ad-aware will most likely as well, tho I haven't verified that.

Follow the link that THoey sent, grab Spybot, update it and run it.

Thanx... I fixed everything using technique from Norton's site. Although I had to remove *.dll's and *.exe's manually.
Thank you all.
