I recently cleaned a computer that had scores of spyware infections. I noticed after the cleaning there were still two problems:

1) I was unable to press CTRL-ALT-DELETE to bring up the mananger
2) The desktop properties were missing tabs

To restore these features, go into regedit and navigate to this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
MICROSOFT
WINDOWS
CURRENTVERSION
POLICIES
SYSTEM

Set the data for any desktop or task manager keys to 0 and that will restore their functionality.

Yet another strain of spyware going around the net. This one pops up windows with a variety of titles and URLs such as:

Fling.com
Fubar.com
System-defender.com
Boomj.com

After running my usual list of cleaners that I use for removing adyieldmanager, I found that I also needed to run Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware program which you can find here:

The system I was cleaning showed a lot of trojan.vundo infections. I ran Mal's program twice and that seemed to clean it all up.
