Removal Instructions:
Files:
Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.
A file with an unknown location named "zippy.dll".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If Zippy 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 files!

Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these folders.
The directory at "<$SYSDIR>\cache32_zippy".
