      There's a spoolsv.exe in System32.

        Delete (spool32.exe) It but send a copy via a email, or burn it on a cd before deleting it, this is a file used when printing. But it can also be a trojan.
        (I have winxp home edition, a I dont have any spool32.exe)

            The 'p' in the name appears to be some kind of look-alike character - the embedded WinRAR wants to call it s_ool32.rar - I assume this is a bad sign?

            Edit: I'll take your crosspost as confirmation.

                  Deleted. Anything else that seems obviously suspicious, or should I just wait and see if my problems are solved?

                      Rebooted ... no ads yet, but they were coming rather irregularly, so I'll give it some hours before I conclude it's indeed gone ...

                          Yup. My system seems to be clear.

                          Many thanks!

                              Spybot found a couple further webHancer files, which I promptly killed.
