You will have to use a global search for files without a name specified. Be extra careful, because just the name might not be enough to identify files!
Registry:
You can use regedit.exe (included in Windows) to locate and delete these registry entries.
Delete the registry key "Launch DerBiz.com" at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\RemoteAccess\Profile\".
Delete the registry key "ASDPLUGIN" at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\".
If DerBiz uses rootkit technologies, use our RegAlyzer (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=regalyzer), RootAlyzer (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=8) or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=3).
