Paytime Trojan & SpySheriff - Score: MS 1; Norton AV 0.

[its_my_dime]

Last week, I simultaneously picked up the Paytime trojan and Spysheriff. IE
home page was changed to secure32.html and pop-up warnings about spyware
appeared. Norton Antivirus couldn't find a problem. Spybot found it,
deleted it but it came right back.

However, Microsoft Anti Spyware (Beta 1) found the problem, removed both
trojans and restored the home page settings.

Nice Job, MS!!

Restart in Safe Mode and run both tools there.
