Help me delete this spyware

My wife inadvertantly loaded an insidious little program called "INTERNET OPTIMIZER" onto my system. I have tried everything (spyware, regedit etc.) to remove the file but it has thwarted my every effort.

when I try to delete it manually via the "c : Programs" file, I get a popup saying:
"Cannot delete optimizer.exe: Access is denied, The source file may be in use"

how can I get this thing off my system?

Thanks in advance.
 
How to manually remove Internet Optimizer Spyware from your system?

* WARNING : Modifying your registry or system files can render your system unusable in case of any error.

* Internet Optimizer removal step 1: For the Crmrest installer variant, open the Downloaded Program Files folder (inside the Windows folder) and remove the 'Media Manager' entry.

* Internet Optimizer removal step 2: For other variants, open the Windows folder. You should be able to see a file 'ioptiXXX.dll' (Iopti variant), 'nemXXX.dll' (Nem variant) or 'wsemXXX.dll' (Wsem variant). The XXX differs for different versions; common versions are 'iopti130.dll', 'nem207.dll' and 'wsem210.dll'.

* Internet Optimizer removal step 3: Open the registry using RegEdit and find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun.

* Internet Optimizer removal step 4: Delete the entries 'DyFuCA' and 'DyFuCA Active Alerts'.

* Internet Optimizer removal step 5: Now open a DOS command prompt window (from Start->Programs->Accessories), and enter the following commands

For the Iopti variant:

cd "%WinDir%System"
regsvr32 /u ..iopti130.dll

Or, for the Nem variant:
cd "%WinDir%System"
regsvr32 /u .. em207.dll

Or, for the Wsem variant:
cd "%WinDir%System"
regsvr32 /u ..wsem210.dll

* Restart the computer and you should be able to delete the DLL from the Windows folder, and the 'DyFuCA', 'Internet Optimizer' or 'STWSI' folder you may have inside Program Files.

This will remove the Internet Optimizer program from your computer. Congratulations, you have successfully removed Internet Optimizer from your computer by following our internet optimizer removal and uninstalling guide.
