The following instructions have been created to help you to get rid of "System1060" 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:
hijacker
Description:
Set of files that do everything to appear as system files. Named taskmgr.exe and twunk_64.exe, both even have the original Microsoft description in their properties, but they don't have the original functionality. Instead, they begin phoning home on system start.
Removal Instructions:
Autorun:
Please use Spybot-S&D (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=spybotsd), RunAlyzer (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=runalyzer) or msconfig.exe to remove the following autorun entries.
Entries pointing to "1000\taskmgr.exe".
Entries pointing to "1000\tcpdetect.exe".
Entries pointing to "1060\taskmgr.exe".
Entries pointing to "1060\twunk_64.exe".
Entries pointing to "1045\svchost.exe".
Entries named "twunk_64".
Entries named "Taskmgr".
Files:
Please use Windows Explorer or another file manager of your choice to locate and delete these files.
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\1000\taskmgr.exe".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\1060\taskmgr.exe".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\1060\twunk_64.exe".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\1060\shell.exe".
The file at "<$SYSDIR>\1045\svchost.exe".
Make sure you set your file manager to display hidden and system files. If System1060 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!
Final Words:
If neither Spybot-S&D nor self help did resolve the issue or you would prefer one on one help,
Please read these instructions (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288) before requesting assistance,
Then start your own thread in the Malware Removal Forum (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22) where a volunteer analyst will advise you as soon as available.
