Didn't remember it being such a pain in the ass to get rid of, then again, this machine cough up like over 100 results in Spybot, so it's pretty diseased all around.

Saw a couple removal tools, nether seemed to work. Followed manual removal instructions I found on one site, which didn't seem to catch all the files. Figured I`d run Spybot to see if it could grab it that way. Which it didn`t seem to. But hey, who knows, after a restart I can`t even get into windows to tell.

Fuck it, waiting for the go ahead tonight and I`m cleaning that shit for a reinstall.

I think that`s gonna be my new terms for these type of deals. Clean whatever you want to keep off, and I`ll reinstall, but I`m not gonna dump hours into trying to remove one finicky little bitch worm.
