Hello jaugie,

Download CleanUp! (Alternate Link if main link doesn't work) and install it. Do not run it yet.

Download KillBox http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/KillBox.exe.

Reboot into Safe Mode.(tapping F8 or F5)

Copy the file names below to the clipboard by highlighting them and pressing Ctrl-C:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\wrapperouter.exe
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\FAVORITES\Free Online Casino.url
C:\WINDOWS\etb


Start KillBox.
Go to the File menu, and choose Paste from Clipboard.
Verify that you've done this properly by clicking the dropdown-arrow next to the Full Path of File to Delete field. The filenames you pasted will be found in there.
Select/tick the following:
* Delete on Reboot
* End Explorer Shell While Killing File
* Unregister.dll Before Deleting" if it's not grayed out.
Click the RED X button.

Click [Yes] at the 'Delete on Reboot' prompt. Click [NO] at the Pending Operations prompt.

Delete this folder if it still exists:

C:\WINDOWS\etb

Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu). Set the program up as follows:
*Click "Options..."
*Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"
*Put a check next to the following:
-Empty Recycle Bins
-Temporary Internet Files
-Delete Cookies
-Delete Prefetch files
[color=Blue]-[X]Scan local drives for temporary files [/color] (Please uncheck this option)
-Cleanup! All Users
Click OK
Press the CleanUp! button to start the program. Reboot/logoff when prompted.

You should be clean now.

NOTE:

After performing the following final instructions, please go to Microsoft and download all the critical updates to help prevent possible re-infection. Please update to XP SP2 and I.E. SP2

In light of your recent issue, I'm sure you'll like to avoid any future infections. Please take a look at these well written articles:
HOW DID I GET INFECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE? http://forums.net-integration.net/in...showtopic=3051
THE ANTI-SPYWARE TUTORIAL http://www.greyknight17.com/spyware.htm#prevent
MAKING INTERNET EXPLORER SAFER http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/foru...er-tut102.html

Be very wary with any security software that is advertised in popups or in other ways. They are not only usually of no use, but often have malware in them.

More information and downloads are available at the following links:

Spyware Blaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
Spyware Guard to catch and block spyware before it can execute.
IESpy-Ad to block access to malicious websites so you cannot be redirected to them from an infected site or email.
