My dads laptop had that DyFuCa on it and numerous scans with different adware removers did nothing to remove it.

I finally had to delve into the registry myself to remove it.

It is not too daunting to remove, just remember to back up the registry just in case (or create a restore point in system restore if you have it).

I then went to edit -->find... and typed DyFuCa in the find what box (keys, strings and values ticked) then click find next.

I deleted any folders containing DyFuCA, closed the registry and rescanned with spybot, it was completely removed.

Hope you sort out your problem.

Backup your registry or create a system point, then mess around with your registry. If anything went wrong, undo.

You might want to give your computer a defragment as well to finish up the job. Try defrag your HDD under safe mode.
