After pulling my hair out for most of the day, I found this link with instructions on how to find and remove the registry entry and the hidden file from the hard drive.
What threw me was that things could be hidden from view in the registry and on the hard drive. I found the registry entry value using the free registry editor, while regedit couldn't see it. Show all hidden files was turned on, yet I could not see the dll file while I was in windows. It was there at a recovery command prompt however.
I talked with a someone who said that the ability to hide certain things was a feature to protect system files. I was not able to talk with him long enough to see if he knew where I could edit whatever policy to change this "feature". I looked all around in the local and group policy and did not find a fix.
So my question is, what would need to be done to see ALL files, no matter what MS says. It is so irritating that the spyware is using windows security against itself. :|
