The following instructions have been created to help you to get rid of "EBlaster" manually.
Use this guide at your own risk; software should usually be better suited to remove malware, since it is able to look deeper.

Threat Details:
Categories:
spyware
Description:
EBlaster is a monitoring tool that logs keystrokes, IM chats and surfing behaviour. It sends the logfiles to a specified e-mail address.
Removal Instructions:
Files:
Important: There are more files that cannot be safely described in simple words. Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd) to remove them.
Folders:
Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these folders.
The directory at "<$SYSDIR>\binamlan\svrenmod".
The directory at "<$SYSDIR>\binamlan\hexigcal".
The directory at "<$SYSDIR>\binamlan".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If EBlaster uses rootkit technologies, use our RootAlyzer (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=8) or our Total Commander anti-rootkit plugins (http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=3).
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 folders!
Registry:
You can use regedit.exe (included in Windows) to locate and delete these registry entries.
A key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ named "Cativfat", plus associated values.
Delete the registry key "{617B1EA4-196B-474E-A1AA-6E324A9316DC}" at "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\".
Delete the registry key "{886C825B-494D-4675-88C9-588FED7C7F90}" at "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\".
Delete the registry value "Geticmp4" at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellServiceObjectDelayLoad\".
If EBlaster 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).
