Spyware Infection has Detected - infected!

[synapsevampire]

One of my laptops I loaned out came back with this on it.

It's running Vista Ultimate, and the fixes I've seen, and there are far too many, and heavily bloated at that, are for XP.

Any thoughts on how to remove this nuisance? Conventional Spybot/PC-cillin seem worthless against it.

Thanks,

Vista is more resource intensive, of course, but it also does a much better job with graphics within Windows.

Use techspot for tips on virii removal.

A lot of steps, but better than reformatting.

More memory, more hardrive, more cpu, better vidoe, etc., required.
