Infection with Odyssey

[Guest]

Daughter returned from college and did my usual clean up. Windows XP appears
to be infected with something called "Odyssey". Scanned with Spyware, edited
registy, scanned with Anti-virus, removed through Control Panel and still
keeps returning. How do I rid her PC of this item?

Run ADaware SE in windows safe mode (hold down the F8 key before windows xp
splash screen). Also find out what folders that particular spyware plants on
your PC. Usually you'll find files in a Temp folder.
