browser theif keeps coming bakc after deleted by Microsoft Spyware scan

[mac]

Hi, I have a browser thief that keeps coming back and
stealing my explorer web browser after I run the spyware
removal software (Microsoft). It appears to delete the
file and then when I reboot it comes back. There are
also several "casino" and "warning" popups that
regenerate themselves. I would love to get rid of these -
any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Mac

Open Microsoft AntiSpyware and send a suspected spyware
report from the Tools Menu.

For maximum effectiveness, proceed as follows:

Update your Microsoft Antispyware definitions.(also your
antivirus definitions)

Restart the machine in safe mode and Login as Administrator

Empty your IE cache and your other temporary file folders,
eg: c:\temp, c:\windows\temp or C:\Documents and
Settings\<name>\Local Settings\Temp (the path to your temp
folder will change depending on your name) - sometimes
programmes can be hidden in there - watch out for
mysterious *.exe files or *.dll files in those folders.

Go to IE Tools, Internet Options, Temporary Internet Files
{Settings Button}, View Objects, Downloaded Program Files.
Check for unrecognised objects there.

If you are using Windows XP, go to Tools, Manage Add-Ons
and disable anything you don't want or recognise.

If you are not running XP SP2 use one of the BHO disablers

A BHO disabler such as BHO Cop, BHO Demon or BHOCaptor
(non XP SP2 users only)

Do a full, deep scan with Microsoft Antispyware (and,
ideally, your antivirus as well)

Good luck Mac

Hello Mac,

try running MSAS in safe mode (F8 at boot)
Clean out your Temp internet folders.
