Oooh, the thread injection by the dll would make it hard to kill; you'd have to use a tool like Process Spy that shows you dll files as well as the executables.
That tool you downloaded probably didn't do the full job, though. It's the Kill2Me tool by Merjin, author of HijackThis, and it's more than a year out of date. For most spyware (as opposed to malware) you're better off running their Add/Remove Control Panel applet or going to their website for a removal tool. And *then* get out the medieval tools to strip the surviving stuff out. Here's the Look2Me removal tool: http://www.look2me.com/cgi-bin/UnInstaller http://www.ad-w-a-r-e.com/cgi-bin/UnInstaller If you're going to do ad and spyware blocking via DNS, you'll definitely want to check out this project from the Snort guys at: http://www.bleedingsnort.com/blackhole-dns/ Which references the MVPS site as one source for a hosts. file, and also references the excellent Peter Lowe site at http://pgl.yoyo.org Also check out http://www.bluetack.co.uk/ which has excellent converter utilities and yet another hosts. file compilation. If you're running a web proxy server for your users, you might consider installing their ProtoWall software instead, or the similar software Peer Guardian 2 from http://methlabs.org/ Take care with adblocking though, as some of these lists get carried away. For example, I've seen that using a hosts. file entry like: 127.0.0.1 media.fastclick.net Causes a login popup box when IE tries to display one of those pages. Good luck, and let us know what you decide to do in your Enterprise!
