    Hi Diablo, since you are using Norton, there is more information here.

    Hope this help...

    Let us know how you go.

    i ran the removal tool from norton and showed nothing but it keeps showing up on the pandasoftware freescan online.

    after reading some info, dyfuca goes by another name "internet Optimizer", so i ran a find, search in the registry using internet optimizer and found a total of two internet optimizers which i deleted both and the infection didnt show up a new pandasoftware scan...

    whether its a false positive that i dont know, it could have been web accelerator software that i had on my hard drive

    Have you tried a scan in Safe Mode as described in General Cleaning?

    Cheers :D

    have you tried to manually remove it?

    Manual removal
    Please follow the instructions below if you would like to remove DyFuCA manually. Please notice that you must follow the instructions very carefully and delete everything that is mentioned. In most cases the removal will fail if one single item is not deleted. If DyFuCA remains on your system after stepping through the removal instructions, please double-check by stepping through them again.

    1. Start the registry editor. This is done by clicking Start then Run. (The Run dialog will appear.) Type regedit and click OK. (The registry editor will open.)
    2. Delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Classes \ CLSID \ {8F4E5661-F99E-4B3E-8D85-0EA71C0748E4}, if it exists.
    3. Delete 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Browser Helper Objects \ {8F4E5661-F99E-4B3E-8D85-0EA71C0748E4}, if it exists.
    4. Exit the registry editor.
    5. Restart your computer.
    6. Delete Wsem*.dll, where * represents 3 random digits.
    7. Delete "c:\Programs Files\dialers\".

    Go to this page, will show you step-by-step how to remove it.
    AOL spyware found it for me today, luckily before it had a chance
    to install all the associated programs. Another idea is to have
    your phone company block 900 dialing if you are on dialup. ;)
