Doing a routin clean on a users PC today I managed to kill Navisearch, and Bulseye Network and several others. There is one that seems to be eluding me though. The file is iissys.exe and is in the Windows INF folder. There are 2 entries in regedit referencing this and *iissys.exe

I have cleaned the reg and renamed the file but it keeps comming back at reboot. Adaware and Spybot won't touch it.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Well, try this.

1. Turn off System Restore (XP only)
2. Open task manager (ctrl+shift+esc) and kill any suspicious tasks.
3. Fix the registry entries.
4. Immediately reboot.

See how that works for you.

PC is Win 2000

When I kill the task it pops back in within seconds.

Okay. Boot in to safe mode and try it there. There might be another task that is stubbing that one.

Tried that no luck.

Any other ideas?

Hrm. Spybot has a Teatimer to protect your system from things doing things such as adding themselves to the Run keys. I believe it is under Tools. Enable it, clean out the run key. You should get a popup from the program asking you to allow the spyware to add itself to the Run key. Deny it. Reboot.
