I've had this Spyware before TWICE and I think I know how to get rid of it.

Also may I remind you it says
This files are created by the software being installed and also if you actually red what you copy and pasted you would of noticed thisAntispywareXP 2009 creates the following files:
^ This is refering to it of been INSTALLED and long with whole list of files. If you knew what you were talking about you'd realise that the files are located in PROGRAM FILES which is where INSTALLED applications are generally kept. When the software is at it's first stage it is just a POP UP in the corner of the screen and has not been placed in PROGRAM FILES just System32.c:\Program Files\XP_AntiSpyware\XP_AntiSpyware.exeLast edited by Christian; 25-10-2008 at 10:54 PM.

Then remove the files from system32?

I did that numb nuts but it didn't work, it becomes to inter locked with the main files in there and cannot be removed without damage and Spyware programs don't know how to get rid of it. Once the software is installed it removes the popups so then all you need to do is use a Spyware remover to get rid of it. Originally Posted by Sc0tteh

Remove the system32 files, if their important to the system reinstall them off the disk/get them off the internet...
Remove the files from the registry.
Problem solved.

Just run combofix ...
Fixes it everytime

I might of as well installed Windows again doing that! It's not quite as simple as that, if the file is needed for bootup say and only for that as soon as I restart my computer it will just crash or not load up. No actual method has been discovered to remove it without installing it first anyway. Originally Posted by Sc0tteh

Even to use that would make no different, you'd have to get rid of it the same way no matter what really, unless you wanted to uninstall Windows which would be stupid. Originally Posted by Lycan

If you delete the file and it was needed and soon as you deleted it it crashed your system (which wouldnt happen anyways) then you could load the XP recovery and reinstall it... Originally Posted by Christian

As lycan just said theres one for a start amongst alot of others.
Installing it is just stupid imho.

No.. simply double clicking combofix , agreeing to its terms works... i've removed this virus from several computers... its my job to do so. Combofix followed by a indepth virus scan fixes it. Originally Posted by Christian

Your just making a simple resolutions complex here. To remove it is to install then use Spyware removers to get rid of it. It's just the obvious and clear way possible. Originally Posted by Sc0tteh
