    These programs may be hard to detect. They are set to run in the following keys:

    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Run
    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

    Notice the current user and not local machine. It looks like prutsct.exe is the trickler or reinstaller because it also has another entry in:

    HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

    Rename the files in safe mode from blah.exe to blah.exe.bad. you can use the command "rename blah.exe blah.exe.bad" after navigating to the correct folder using a command prompt.

    Delete the registry run keys after testing for stability.

    This was found on XP.
