keyword.exe

I'm looking for away to delete this file. I assume it is spyware but spybot will not get rid of it. Any help would be appreciated.

Tried a virus scanner? Can you delete it all? Does it replicate everytime you start up even after deleting it?

Boot your machine to safe mode (f8 during startup) and delete it.

I tried this but it came back. Tried using Spybot, Spysweeper and Norton but haven't been able to get rid of it.

I've tried Norton and Spybot but it hasn't detected it. The files on these are up to date. I was able to delete it in safe mode but it came back.

Click Start, Go to Run, And then type in msconfig and hit enter. Look in the startup section and see if there is anything weird starting up that you don't want there. If there is, Uncheck it after you have deleted that keyword.exe file and see if it returns again after a restart.

I had to start up in safe mode and delete manage.exe and keyword.exe from Windows system32 file. Then go to regedit and delete both files from registry. Otherwise it kept reloading. Thanks for the help.
