How to remove windows explorer malware

[dalfish]

Hi friends,

I got infected with 177 malware items. I just tried to download opensuse11.3 from mirrorackspace.com. So i cleaned the 170 infections with Spybot. When i run the spybot the items now detected are

1 Adobe flash player cookies

2 cache

3 history

4 MS direct3D

5 Windows

6 windows explorer (THis is the one )


The windows explorer is not removed rest of all are removed by spybot Spybot asks for a startup scan. i have done that but the items detected wont show up Instead Spybot windows show 3 detected at the bottom left side. Spybot dialog box say it is resident in the memory. How to remove the no 6 item called the windows explorer


Regards
