The key recommended steps are in this order (where you would take the “next step“ if a cleaning process still doesn't correct the underlying issues).

1. AntiVirus Cleaning -- Update your AV product to the latest scanning engine and virus definitions. Scan your entire hard drive and remove items with your AV product or free cleaning tools available at many sites.

2. AdAware and SpyBot Search & Destroy -- Both of these free cleaning tools are excellent. Use Google to find sites where you can download each product and update them to the latest available definitions each time you run.

3. CWS Shredder, HijackThis, and Filemon/Regmon Analysis -- This next step requires a lot of technical expertise as Windows file and registry activity must be carefully analyzed.

4. Reinstallation of Internet Explorer -- As a last resort sometimes IE or even Windows itself will require reinstallation. Always remember to apply critical patches before reconnecting to the Internet. Then immediately perform a Windows Update to better protect your newly reinstalled environment.

This Anti - Soft virus can be a pain in the rear. It will always start with your computer once your begin to open your internet browser or when your system starts up.

1)Boot to Safe Mode
2)Look for the folders under Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data and delete folders that doesn't look right. The executables are in those folders.
3)Open up your registry. Export your registry and save it with a date like (31810) in a new folder under My documents called Registry
4)The key values will then need to be deleted under HKCU\HKLM SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENT VERSION\RUN
5)Close your registry and reboot your machine.
6)Update your virus software or get one and install it.

After cleaning the system and removing the core infections a lot of the time resetting the settings in IE will help a TON.
