    Dude, spybot is NOT ENOUGH to remove this one believe me...

    • scanning with Ewido in safe mode: it returns after reboot, the popup on the Desktop will remain.
    • scanning with SpySweeper in safe mode: scanning blocks at 92% (tried several times, on various virtual setups...with the latest build that was)
    • scanning with Kav in safe mode: infection returns

    the only program that deleted this infection (without using HJT, not easy to remove this baddy with hjt), together with this persistent popup on the desktop was: Spyware Doctor ... believe it or not!

    regards,

    Down load Spybot-Search and Destroy (version 1.4)

    Go to control panel and in ....add and delete programs, delete Spy Sheriff.


    Restart computer in the safe mode (press F8 when compute is restarting)

    Run Spybot 1.4 in the safe mode and it will delete spy sheriff.
    Then click on start ----- search for (Secure32.html) and (winstall.exe) . Delete if found.

    Worked for me.
