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

A file with an unknown location named "aplicacion.cab".
A file with an unknown location named "msa64chk.inf".
A file with an unknown location named "msa64chk.dll".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\MSA64CHK.DLL".
A file with an unknown location named "asrcware.cab".
A file with an unknown location named "msapasrc.dll".
A file with an unknown location named "msains.inf".
A file with an unknown location named "3dstamp.ico".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\3DSTAMP.ICO".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\MSAPASRC.DLL".

A file with an unknown location named "mshtmpre.dll".
A file with an unknown location named "mshtmpre.inf".

Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If Matrix 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!
