Use this method with several different scanners. Should remove it without having to reinstall Windows.

Once the offending files have gone, you may need to manually remove some registry entries afterwards though

860743 2010-02-23 03:06:00 Speedy, I did not see anything - he asked me if I knew how to get rid of it. I'll advise him to do a HJT and post it here but I think he will rather reformat the HD and reinstall Win7.

He just needs to kill the main file that keeps it recreating. HJT will do that easy enough, then it's just a matter of the usual scans.
So he is a noob, for not listening and not doing this.
